Whether he's taking water samples from his boat Riverkeeper, or
preparing to file suit against a polluter, for more than 20 years
Cronin has been the Hudson River's most outspoken and effective
defender. He has worked as an activist, a lobbyist, a special
investigator, and a commercial fisherman. He simply uses tools
within existing environmental laws to have regulations enforced.
He also coordinates more than a dozen spinoff river-, sound-, and
baykeeper programs around the country.
