Berry's Creek (sometimes referred to as Berrys Creek or Berry Creek) is a tributary of the Hackensack River in the New Jersey Meadowlands in Bergen County, New Jersey. The creek watershed contains a diverse array of wetlands, marshes, and wildlife. The creek runs through a densely populated region and has been subject to extensive industrial pollution during the 19th and 20th centuries. Several companies discharged toxic chemicals into the creek in the 20th century, and these chemicals have remained in the sediment. The creek has the highest concentrations of methyl mercury of any fresh-water sediment in the world. Portions of the creek watershed are Superfund sites and cleanup projects began in the late 20th century.

Das Einzugsgebiet umfasst eine höchst diverse Palette von Feuchtgebieten, Marschland und von Tierwelt. Der Fluss verläuft durch eine dicht besiedelte Region und war im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert heftiger industrieller Gewässerverschmutzung ausgesetzt. Im 20. Jahrhundert verklappten mehrere Firmen giftige Chemikalien in den Fluss und bis heute sind die Chemikalien im Sediment vorhanden. Der Fluss hat die höchste Konzentration von Methylquecksilberverbindungen von allen Süßwassersedimenten weltweit. Teile des Einzugsgebiets wurden in das Superfund-Programm aufgenommen und Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts begannen Säuberungsaktionen. (de)
