Life aboard the Clearwater is always full of surprises. When educational groups go fishing with a otter-trawl net, the students get a glimpse at life under the water. We've caught fish, eels, and crabs, but sometimes capture trash and litter that has found a resting place on the river floor.

Students have a great opportunity to observe river wildlife, and get to see why its so important to restore the Hudson River to its full potential.
