SUMMARY:Community Advisory Group meeting for the Lower Hudson River
DESCRIPTION:This is still a crucial opportunity for you and other concerned friends and neighbors to provide input\, ask questions\, and ensure that EPA holds polluters accountable for their harm to Hudson Valley communities and habitats. \nWhether you’re new to this issue or a long-time advocate\, please register to join us online tomorrow and make your voice heard.\nWe are advocating for future meetings to provide the opportunity for in-person engagement on this critical issue. \nWHEN: \nWednesday\, September 24\n1 – 4 p.m. \nWHERE:\nVirtually via Zoom\nREGISTER HERE to attend. \nWHY: \nFor decades\, we’ve lived with the legacy of PCB pollution in the Hudson Valley. These highly toxic chemicals were dumped into the Hudson River by General Electric (GE) until the 1970s and remain at harmful levels in river sediments and wildlife. \nDredging in the Upper Hudson River north of Troy only addressed part of the problem; PCBs were spread by tides\, floods\, and fish and other animals that consumed them throughout the entire river system. \nFuture work must address the full extent of GE’s pollution to set the Hudson on a path towards lasting recovery. \nYour voice is needed. We hope to see you online.

SUMMARY:Learning Session: Understanding Harmful Algal Blooms on the Hudson
DESCRIPTION:The Hudson is experiencing its largest harmful algal bloom (HAB) on record. A green sheen of toxic bacteria centered near Kingston is covering the river and has been observed at various locations primarily from Poughkeepsie to Germantown. These outbreaks of blue-green algae can release toxins\, threaten fish and wildlife\, and raise serious concerns for people and pets. \nJoin Riverkeeper’s experts for a lunchtime session on ​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍​​‍​​​​​‍​‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‍​​‍‌‌‍​‍​​​‌‍​‍‌​‌​‍‌‌‍‌​‌‍​​‍‌​‌​​‌​‌‍‌‍​​‌​‍‌​‍​​​‌​​​​‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌​​‌‍​​​​​‌‍‌‍‌​​​​​‌‌‍​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌‍‌‌​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍​‌‍‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍​‌​‌‌​‍‌‌‍​‌​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‍​‌‍​‍​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌​‌‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍​​‌​‍​​‌​​‍‌​​‍‌‍​​​‍​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍​​‍​​​​​‍​‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‍​​‍‌‌‍​‍​​​‌‍​‍‌​‌​‍‌‌‍‌​‌‍​​‍‌​‌​​‌​‌‍‌‍​​‌​‍‌​‍​​​‌​​​​‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌​​‌‍​​​​​‌‍‌‍‌​​​​​‌‌‍​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌‍‌‌​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍​‌‍‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍​‌​‌‌​‍‌‌‍​‌​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‍​‌‍​‍​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌​‌‌‌‍​‌‌‍​‍​​‌​‍​​‌​​‍‌​​‍‌‍​​​‍​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​‌​​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍‌‌Tuesday\, September 23\, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍​​‍​​​​​‍​‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‍​​‍‌‌‍​‍​​​‌‍​‍‌​‌​‍‌‌‍‌​‌‍​​‍‌​‌​​‌​‌‍‌‍​​‌​‍‌​‍​​​‌​​​​‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌​​‌‍​​​​​‌‍‌‍‌​​​​​‌‌‍​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌‍‌‌​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍​‌‍‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍​‌​‌‌​‍‌‌‍​‌​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‍​‌‍​‍​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​​​‌​‍​‌‍​‌​‍​​‍‌‌‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍‌‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍​​‍​​​​​‍​‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‍​​‍‌‌‍​‍​​​‌‍​‍‌​‌​‍‌‌‍‌​‌‍​​‍‌​‌​​‌​‌‍‌‍​​‌​‍‌​‍​​​‌​​​​‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌​​‌‍​​​​​‌‍‌‍‌​​​​​‌‌‍​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌‍‌‌​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍​‌‍‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍​‌​‌‌​‍‌‌‍​‌​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‍​‌‍​‍​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​​​‌​‍​‌‍​‌​‍​​‍‌‌‍‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​‌​​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍‌‌\, to learn what harmful algal blooms are\, why they matter\, and what the recent bloom in the Hudson tells us about the river’s health.
