Populations of American Shad in the Hudson river are at all-time low levels due to impacts such as sewage pollution from aging infrastructure, power plant fishkills, and overfishing. In 2010, the historic Hudson River American Shad Fishery closed in order to protect this signature species.

Funding for this project is the result of Riverkeeper and the Pace Environmental Litigation Clinic settling an enforcement action with Mirant Corporation over violations at their Lovett power plant. This study is focused on researching parts of Hudson River habitat most favorable to successful spawning of young shad. It is the result of our efforts to make an environmental violator contribute directly to the population it helped to destroy.
