Throughout his career, @riverkeeper's John Lipscomb has sailed infinite miles on the Hudson River, taken countless water samples to advance cleanup efforts, & through his work on documentaries, has spread his zeal for protecting our environment to people near & far.

Thank you @sarbetter @CapitalTonight for speaking with me about the Hudson River PCB Superfund status and @riverkeeper's call for @EPAregion2 to change course & recognize that the cleanup has not achieved the goals promised to NY'ers.

“Not only has the removal of the PCBs been lower overall than what the public wanted, now the recovery – the levels of PCBs in the river – aren't declining as much as was even promised based on that cleanup," @Tracyworks said. @riverkeeper

I’m thrilled to express gratitude to our friends at @aceprogramsny and @riverkeeper for their cleanup efforts on 61st Street between Ft Hamilton and 14th Avenue. Our Sunday cleanup was a success, and I want to thank our volunteers.

Thank you @SenatorHarckham for supporting @Riverkeeper's water quality monitoring program with a $100,000 NYS Senate grant. This grant helped us purchase our third vessel and our only full-time scientific research boat.

Thank you @riverkeeper for inviting me out on the Bob Boyle, its new water monitoring boat.
I’m proud to have delivered $100K in State Senate grant funding to help purchase this boat and improve our surveillance on the health of the Hudson River.

Out on the river in Haverstraw Bay with @SenatorHarckham and our President @Tracyworks discussing water quality, endangered Atlantic sturgeon, and more! @riverkeeper

Getting @SenatorHarckham in on the action at one of @riverkeeper’s 77 water quality sampling sites on the Hudson. On the right our President @Tracyworks puts completed tests in the viewing screen to check for high levels of bacteria. How’s the water? Visit Riverkeeper.org

“Bycatch is and has been the single biggest impediment to the resurgence of the endangered Atlantic sturgeon population, and limits on bycatch are vital to their recovery.” - @Riverkeeper President @Tracyworks

Yes, we know the EPA five-year review just dropped;
Yes, it is around 1,000 pages long with 10 appendices;
Yes, we are working on a press release for today;
Yes, we have expert consultants who need to dig into it;
Yes, we will get you materials & top lines;
No, we are not happy.

This expanded green roof construction incentive is a great example of the nuts and bolts of climate policy that checks a ton of boxes.
✅Absorb rainwater
✅Increase wildlife habitat
✅Reduce urban heat
✅More green space
✅Increased incentives for the outer boroughs
#Riverkeeper and our partners @SWIMCoalition, @nature_org, and @nylcv celebrated @KathyHochul's recent signing of a bill extending the tax incentive for green roofs. Green infrastructure is critical for managing stormwater and combating the effects of climate change in NYC 🏙️💧

Had a great time at the @riverkeeper Summer Splash event last night. Congratulations to @SenatorHarckham for receiving the Big Fish award! Well deserved!
Riverkeeper retweeted
Great to be able to introduce my friend @SenatorHarckham at @riverkeeper's gala last night, where he was awarded the "Big Fish" award. Pete is a tremendous environmental leader in the Senate and so deserving of recognition. Keep it up, Pete! I'll be cheering you from the outside.
