HRE-103

The HRE-101 site is at river mile 84.5 by the Norrie Point Environmental Center on the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve. Halfway between the Adirondack Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, this freshwater tidal shoreline has great biodiversity of fish, birds, and plants. With this citizen science project, we invite visitors to watch the tides change, ice advance or retreat, passing ship traffic, and the seasonal invasion of water chestnuts (Trapa natans). 

Hudson River Estuary

This is a beautiful tidal freshwater wetland fed by the Enderkill Creek on the Hudson River Estuary. It is home to many migratory and resident birds and fish. We love the biological diversity of marsh and swamp plants that grow and change throughout the seasons. Water levels rise and fall daily in the wetland with tidal cycles that are influences by the adjacent Hudson River.
