The Hudson is a mighty and magnificent river that holds a unique
place in world history. This book gives readers the tools they need
to understand the river and its variety of qualities that make up
this special waterway. The goal of this book is twofold. First and
foremost, it educates readers on the importance of the Hudson River
as a natural resource, key transportation artery, and chief
provider of food, oxygen, and water needed to sustain the local,
national, and global ecosystem. Second, this book mentions its
characteristics, tributaries, and how the river is an historic and
scenic treasure-a treasure that also economically benefits New York
and New Jersey by offering its residents and tourists many
attractions and recreational opportunities. Chapters include:
Hudson River: Overview of the Hudson River and Its Tributaries;
Aquatic Plants, Habitats, Hudson River Estuaries (tributaries
within the estuaries), Its Ecosystem, Fish and Wildlife; Hudson
Estuary Program, Its Ecosystem (including changes in it), Fish and
Other Wildlife (Con't)/River Pollution Problems & Solutions;
Photo Section; Hudson River Access/Transportation Links (Railroads,
Recreation and Commercial Vessels, Bridges, Tunnels, etc.); Hudson
River Historical Attractions/Recreational Activities and Sites;
Newly Completed & Future Hudson Riverfront Development Projects
and Hudson River Real Estate Market; Some Historical Highlights of
the Hudson River and Its Valley; and the Author's Summary.
