Our River Project

Hands-on STEM education programs focused on wildlife, sustainability and our Park environment that empower the next generation of scientists using the Hudson River as a classroom.

Guided activities, experiments and videos that bring local waters, wildlife and science to life. Connect with the Hudson River virtually using common household items, your device of choice and printable worksheets.

HRPK continuously measures Hudson River environmental conditions at Pier 25 and Pier 84. Explore this dashboard to learn more about the physical and environmental factors that affect our local water environment.

The Wetlab is the site of our River Project’s flow-through native aquarium system and marine biology field station. This facility displays a rotating exhibit of fish and other species collected from the Hudson River Estuary.

Our River Project team conducts ongoing research and monitoring projects to help protect and restore the Park’s 400-acre Estuarine Sanctuary. Current projects are focused on fish ecology, eDNA, microplastics, shoreline debris, oysters, pathogens, water quality and more.

Hudson River Park’s habitat enhancement projects in Tribeca and at Gansevoort Peninsula are helping to revitalize the Park’s 400-acre Estuarine Sanctuary.

This digital field guide shares interesting facts about the most common species of fish, invertebrates and reptiles typically found in our Wetlab, a flow-through aquarium located at HRPK’s Pier 40.

Paid internship opportunities for students and recent graduates seeking experience in environmental education and field science to help build STEM communication, research and leadership skills.
