Historical Note

Introductory Note By John Grim:

This was a committee directed study. Members of the Committee were made up of representatives of the NYS Conservation department, the N.J. Conservation Department, the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service and Consolidated Edison Company. I believe the State of Connecticut may have contributed a representative later on.

Northeast Biologists, Inc. conducted the first three years of the Hudson River Study. We are not fortunate to get the bid for the second three years and later bids.
