Hudson River Wetlands

Protecting the Pathways is an initiative we started with our partners to study and help preserve the Hudson River’s tidal wetlands in the face of sea level rise. The Hudson River is an estuary (where a river connects to the sea), so it experiences daily tides. Wetlands along the tidal Hudson are unique habitats that serve as nurseries for many fish and wildlife, and help protect riverfront communities from flood impacts.

In this interactive guide, you can learn about the Hudson’s tidal wetlands, their fate under sea level rise (it’s not all bad!), and what you can do to help.
