Hudson River Wetlands
Preserving Hudson River 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.
Protecting the Pathwaysis an initiative we started with partners to study and help preserve the Hudson River’s tidal wetlands in the face of sea level rise.
In this 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.
This scientific publication provides additional context: Simulating the Effects of Sea Level Rise on the Resilience and Migration of Tidal Wetlands along the Hudson River.
