“It is a place that can make nature-worshippers out of non-believers.” New York Harbor is one of the most documented and least well-known of our beautiful and productive estuaries. Andrew Willner, former Baykeeper (1989-2008) for the Hudson-Raritan (NY-NJ) estuary shares his knowledge and love of this beautiful waterscape through photographs. Featuring stunning color photographs of the working waterfront, wildlife, and wetlands that border the harbor, Willner will explain the ecological and human uses of this confluence of the Hackensack, Hudson, Passaic, Rahway, Shrewbury, Navesink, and Raritan rivers.
