	Hackensack River
		The Hackensack River and the Meadowlands in New York and New Jersey face rapidly escalating development pressure that threatens to destroy a significant portion of the largest block of wetlands left in the region and increase the amount of pollution entering reservoirs that supply drinking water for one million people.
		As rivers go, the Hackensack is certainly one of the world’s smallest (only 32 miles long) and one of its most urban (nearly 20 million people live within a short drive or train ride from its banks), but it is a river steeped in history.

	Wild New Jersey - Fishes of the Hackensack River Estuary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The lower Hackensack River near Newark Bay, as well, had become an oxygen-less "dead zone" that ended the fabulous herring, shad and striped bass runs the colonials knew; even the resilient common eel and blue crab were hard-pressed to draw breath in "the Hacky" of the 1970s.
		While the construction and closure of the dam at Oradell in 1921 effectively changed the lower river from a free-running stream to a completely brackish ecosystem, blueback and Atlantic herring, alewife, and the striper, all of whom depend on free-flowing streams for spawning, are nonetheless returning to the Hackensack.
		Recreational fishing and crabbing on the Hackensack River are undergoing a rebirth; although health advisories against consumption of the catch remain in effect, many subsistence anglers do so anyway.
