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 were not fortunate to get the bid for the second three years and later bids.
