Join us on Saturday, June 14, for Riverkeeper’s first annual Fish Migration Celebration, a fun and beautiful day where art and advocacy set sail together! A whimsical flotilla of artist-designed boats, inspired by the fishes themselves, will trace their path upriver, turning the water into a moving masterpiece. And leading the way? A larger-than-life sturgeon-themed boat – a breathtaking tribute to one of the river’s most magnificent creatures.
Superhero Clubhouse’s Big Green Theater eco-playwriting program uplifts the imaginations of young people at the frontlines of the climate and environmental movement and brings their ideas to life on stage. 2025 is our third year collaborating with teenage students at the New York Harbor School, a public high school on Governors Island. The focus of this year’s program is the amazing migratory fish of the Mahicantuck (Hudson River). Students are writing scripts with teaching artists Megan Paradis Hanley and Daniella de Jesus, composing original songs with singer-songwriter Treya Lam, and making fish puppets out of marine debris with puppeteer Gregory Corbino. Their work will be performed on May 14 at The Arts Center on Governors Island, and included in Riverkeeper’s Fish Migration Celebration on June 14.
Riverkeeper protects and restores the Hudson River from source to sea and safeguards drinking water supplies, through advocacy rooted in community partnerships, science and law.
