Across the State...from Albany to Valentino Pier, New York students were gathering data so that scientists could get a picture of the health of the Hudson River. BNS fourth grade citizen scientists were all at Valentino Pier on a cool, blustery day.

| Erica Kepski, Assistant Educator for the Department of Environmental Conservation, and J.E. are seining before students got there. |
 |
| Students measured water temperature, turbidity, current direction, pH, and wind speed. |
 |
| Students also took note of the caught critters: 20 silversides and 2 Asian shore crabs...not to mention jelly fish. |
 |
| Students also sketched what they saw in the River and wrote their thoughts, observations and questions. |
The Question of the Day: "When will the water be clean so we can come to swim?"
Thanks to Cynthia Fowx for taking these pictures.
