What has been depicted in the preceding chapters is a portrait of the Hudson River under somewhat haphazard management. Three distinct types of threats to the Hudson ecosystem were at issue, representing direct reductions of animal populations (power plant operation), removal of toxic substances (PCB pollution), and habitat destruction (Westway construction). Each situation that we have chosen to study has had the same characteristics: 1) scientific investigations have been used to help gather information, to clarify phenomena, or to explain effects; 2) none of the findings have gone unchallenged; so that 3) aspects of all of these impacts have gone to trial; and 4) action, if any, has proceeded by court edict more often than not.
