“The Hudson River Estuary is an amazing and critical habitat for many fish species, and this annual event provides a great opportunity for New York families and visitors to get outside and see first-hand how unique the river is to the life cycle of so many fish,” said the DEC's Interim Commissioner, Sean Mahar. “With sites from New York Harbor to Cohoes, there are many places for young and old alike to participate in this year’s event and learn about DEC’s wide-ranging conservation efforts to protect and restore the Hudson River.”
The Hudson River—whose currents are freshwater or saltwater depending on where you are along the river—houses over 200 fish species. Participants catch them with minnow traps, rods and reels, or seine nets—30-foot nets pulled through the water. If you don't want to collect fish, you can still watch from the shore. After being examined up closed, the fish are supposed to be released.
Counting the fish in their natural Hudson River habitats gives the DEC and other environmentalists a better understanding of the ecosystem. They want participants to tag social media posts with @NYSDEC and #hudsonriverfishcount.
