Transforming New York’s Hudson Riverbanks
A project led by the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve is transforming New York’s riverbanks cost-effectively with nature-based strategies.
Hudson River Makeover
New York’s Hudson River is getting a makeover. You can see it while strolling along Yonkers’ new esplanade, waiting for the ferry in Cold Harbor, or picnicking in Haverstraw Bay Park. What was once a hardened, mostly industrial shoreline is getting a “softer,” more natural look—and becoming more resilient in the process—thanks to the Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines Project.
