Suppose that instead of a major river there was only a bay between Manhattan Island and New Jersey extending inland as far as the junction between the Hudson and the Harlem rivers. Would New York City still have become what it is today?



Answer :

The Hudson River is a 315-mile-long, 507-kilometer-long river that flows north-south, primarily through eastern New York in the United States. It rises in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York flows south down the Hudson Valley into Upper New York Bay between New York City and Jersey City and finally empties into the Atlantic Ocean at New York Harbor. At its southern end, the river serves as the political boundary between New Jersey and New York.

A major new study into the nature and ecological importance of the Hudson River's famous striped bass habitat has been completed for the Corps. Much is still unknown about bass migration patterns, but essentially what we know from studies of 26 sampling zones along the river Long Island Sound New York Harbor, and others is the Hudson river could be home to up to 40 million basses.

Being anadromous these fish return from the sea to breed and adults swim upstream in the spring to spawn between West Point and Indian Point, just above Haverstraw. Most baby basses are born within a few days. Babies spend the summer there and grow to 3 to 4 inches in length. These boys of the year swim south as temperatures begin to drop in the fall. Many of them stop when they reach the piers and protected pools along Mid-Manhattan's West Shore.
