"Spanning from pre-colonization to today, learn how the industrial revolution, overfishing, and pollution drove whales away from New York Harbor and the Hudson River by the early 20th Century. But the story doesn't end there. Passionate citizens were able to band together and clean up the harbor through activism and legislation.
They helped to raise awareness which led to the passing of The Clean Water Act in 1972. The first whales were spotted in the Hudson after over 100 years in 2019! Here is an uplifting environmental success story full of towering skyscrapers and underwater dramatics that highlights the power of community - voicing to readers of all ages that each of us can make a difference.
Also includes backmatter on whales and water pollution around the country."-- Provided by. publisher.
