Expanding monitoring, protection efforts through collaboration
April 3, 2025
Riverkeeper Team
Last week over 90 scientists, advocates, activists, regulators, academics, and communicators came together to better coordinate and cooperate on water quality monitoring throughout the Hudson River watershed and to discuss how to best use data to improve water quality.
Organized by Riverkeeper, the second annual Hudson River Water Quality Monitoring Collaborative Workshop, “Data to Action,” offered attendees a chance to learn about Riverkeeper’s current monitoring and plans to expand these efforts. The group shared insights on the biggest challenges facing the watershed and what they have learned from their own water quality monitoring. We also discussed how to best utilize data to engage communities and achieve water quality improvements, and to develop collaborations to expand protection, data collection, and communication efforts.
