The Hudson River Environmental Conditions Observing System [HRECOS] makes this checkup easy.

A few days ago, The New York Times writer Andrew Revkin (@revkin), who is recovering from a stroke, posted a thoughtful piece called River as Teacher.

In it he highlights River Summer, an annual project that connects faculties at universities and colleges along the Hudson River to foster collaboration on watershed issues. 

(Andrew was unable to attend the event due to his stroke. Here he is pictured at far right with Steve Stanne of the NYS DEC Estuary Program and Estuary Program biologist Kris McShane, pictured in the middle. They are holding a 120 pound Atlantic sturgeon. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Andrew!)
