The Institute
"The Hudson River is the laboratory for The Beacon Institute's work, and therefore the first beneficiary, but the technology we develop here is applicable to rivers and estuaries worldwide."
—John Cronin, Director and CEO of The Beacon Institute
Headquartered midway along the Hudson River Estuary in the City of Beacon, Dutchess County, New York, The Beacon Institute is an evolving nexus for new resources, new energy and new ideas about rivers and estuaries around the world.
The Hudson River is an ideal portal for exploration of the interaction between people and nature, via The Beacon Institute's three-pronged approach focusing on Science & Technology, Education and Policy. With the Hudson as its operational base, and with satellite facilities to the north and the south, the Institute is committed to developing a cadre of scientists, engineers, educators and policy experts whose collaborative work will focus on some of the most important and endangered bodies of water in the world.
