"Founded 38 years ago by fishermen and community members to confront polluters for control of the Hudson River, Riverkeeper has investigated and successfully prosecuted more than two hundred environmental lawbreakers and is credited with having led the battle to restore the Hudson River and to save New York City’s drinking water supply.
