River of Many Bends: A Virtual Trip Down the Hackensack River

Captain Bill Sheehan -- the Hackensack Riverkeeper -- talks about the history of Hackensack Riverkeeper, some of the organization's recent successes, and issues he and the organization are currently working on, including a potential superfund designation, combined sewer outfalls, and public access rules. Captain Bill is a lifelong resident of the Hackensack River area, having lived most of his life in Union City and Secaucus, New Jersey. He is a dedicated, active conservationist who founded Hackensack River-keeper in 1997 and serves as the organization’s Executive Director. Captain Bill, as most people know him, holds a Master of Inland Waterways license from the US Coast Guard. He serves on the NY-NJ Harbor Estuary Program Citizens Advisory Committee, a bi-state agency that oversees federal management efforts in the region. He is a founding (and current) member of the Bergen County Trust Fund Public Advisory Committee and is the current Chair of the Meadowlands Conservation Trust, the latter being the agency charged with acquiring, holding and managing conservation properties in the New Jersey Meadowlands and throughout the Hackensack River watershed.
