John Cronin, Director and CEO of Beacon Institute for Rivers & Estuaries, has a long and distinguished career in environmental policy, advocacy and education. He began his work on the Hudson River in 1973, at the prodding of folksinger Pete Seeger, and since then has worked as an advocate, a state and congressional legislative aide, a commercial fisherman, and director of the Pace Academy for the Environment at Pace University School of Law. For 17 years, he served as Hudson Riverkeeper, during which time his work in citizen environmental enforcement gained widespread prominence, and served as the inspiration for 170 similar programs around the world.
He has been the subject of print, broadcast and documentary profiles that have brought international attention to the story of the Hudson River's rebirth. The Wall Street Journal called him "a unique presence on America's major waterways, and Time Magazine honored him as a "Hero for the Planet."
