Release of the Fishes

Celebrate the end of the Wetlab season with our River Project team and bid farewell to the wonderful wildlife that served as marine ambassadors this year.

The Wetlab is a research aquarium that houses dozens of species of fish and invertebrates all caught within the Park as part of our ongoing Fish Ecology Survey. During the season, it features a rotating exhibit of animals that are released regularly to ensure that their behaviors are minimally impacted.

Join our River Project during Release of the Fishes from 3:00 to 6:00 PM at the Wetlab, located on the Pier 40 South Walkway. We will be offering light refreshments and a wide range of activities for all ages.

At the event you can:

*Help return our fish residents to the Hudson River as we are getting ready to close the Wetlab for the season
*Enjoy kid-friendly crafts and activities that teach about local wildlife
*Learn about the Park’s ongoing research and education initiatives from our River Project team
