The fish are coming!

Save the date 🐟🌊🎏 On Saturday, June 20, Riverkeeper’s Fish Migration Celebration returns!

Celebrate the epic journey of Hudson River fish like Atlantic sturgeon, striped bass, and river herring as they make their way upriver to spawn. Riverkeeper’s Fish Migration Celebration is back with a fantastical flotilla, fish-inspired art, and a celebration of the Hudson’s iconic migrating species.

This year we’re launching from Yonkers and charting a course to Newburgh, where we'll celebrate with a community gathering featuring art-making and a puppet parade.

Stay tuned for more details!

🚨 We only have a few days to push back.

@govkathyhochul and NY Senators are trying to weaken a key environmental law in New York (SEQRA).

These changes could:
-Limit local decision-making
-Allow high-density development in flood-prone or contaminated areas
-Encourage sprawl
-Cause irreversible environmental impacts to habitat
-Strain water and sewer systems

Big changes like this shouldn’t be rushed through without public input. We can’t let this happen behind closed doors.

Speak out now to protect clean water and our environment, and promote sustainable development.

☎️ Call Gov. Hochul today to voice to demand SEQRA be protected: (518) 474-8390

Today we celebrate World Fish Migration Day! @fishmigration

Something incredible is happening beneath the surface of the Hudson River. Every spring, fish migrate through our waters in one of the Northeast's great natural phenomena.

Learn more as Riverkeeper Habitat Restoration Director David Stormer and Habitat Restoration Manager Matthew Best dive into the stories of some of our favorite iconic fish of the Hudson at link in bio.

It's cause for celebration! 🐟🌊

RFK Jr. and EPA Administrator Zeldin are gaslighting you about the health of your drinking water.

While claiming a “war on PFAS” the federal government simultaneously announced devastating rollbacks to 2024 rules that protect us all — throwing out the maximum limits for known carcinogens allowed in Americans’ tap water.

That’s not leadership. It’s hypocrisy.

The current administration cannot claim to protect public health while weakening the very rules and systems meant to keep PFAS out of our drinking water.

Deregulating toxic chemicals is not “Making America Healthy Again.” It’s making America sick again — taking us back to an era with fewer protections, more pollution, and more big business influence.

New York can take immediate action to prevent communities from being exposed to more toxic “forever chemicals.” Call on your representatives to safeguard you from federal rollbacks and pass the bill to Protect New Yorkers from PFAS in our drinking water.

We brought together over 100 scientists, advocates, activists, regulators, municipal leaders, academics, and communicators to discuss how to collaboratively monitor, protect, and improve water quality in the Hudson River watershed.

Organized by Riverkeeper, the third annual Hudson River Water Quality Monitoring Collaborative Workshop put experts and decisionmakers in the same room to address the biggest challenges facing the watershed and develop creative solutions to overcome them.

With the current federal administration’s continued rollbacks to scientific research and clean water protections, it is even more vital that regional stakeholders, independent researchers, and local agencies work together to fill the gaps left by retreating federal oversight.

We're grateful (dead) to everyone who came out to Free Dead in the Park! We had a historic turn-out on a beautiful day.

As Riverkeeper President Tracy Brown (@tracybrownaroundtown) said: “The Hudson River Valley has always carried something of the Grateful Dead’s spirit: an appreciation of the power of community, the belief that what we protect together matters, and a love of the natural world.”

We heard the requests for merch and re-opened the store! Place your order for limited-edition shirts and posters at the link in bio!

Big news for New Yorkers: the Rain Ready NY Act just passed the State Senate 🌧️🌱

This is a major step toward reducing flooding, cutting polluted stormwater runoff, and investing in nature-based solutions that make our communities safer and more resilient.

Momentum is building and now we need the Assembly to pass Rain Ready.

Use your voice to tell your reps to take action - link in bio

New York City is investing in a more flood-resilient future, and that matters for every New Yorker. 🌧️🌱

Riverkeeper applauds Mayor Mamdani’s NYC Mayor's Office @NYCmayorsoffice @nycgov FY27 budget priorities for making major investments in climate resilience, including coastal protections, extreme rainfall response, and green infrastructure that helps absorb stormwater before it floods neighborhoods and pollutes local waterways.

We’re especially encouraged by the administration’s support for the Rain Ready NY Act, Riverkeeper’s top legislative priority that will reduce flooding, cut stormwater runoff, and expand nature-based solutions across the city.

Today is Endangered Species Day, and the fight to save the Atlantic sturgeon is more urgent than ever.

Listed as endangered since 2012, these ancient fish have roamed our waters for over 200 million years, yet their numbers have fallen due to overfishing, habitat loss, and bycatch from commercial fishing operations.

We’ve taken action. Riverkeeper partnered with @delawareriverkeeper to file a lawsuit to force NY, NJ, and DE to stop the illegal capture and killing of endangered Atlantic sturgeon once and for all.

Sturgeon have the law on their side. Now we need the states to act.
