River Herring Counts on the Monument/Herring River
37 37 people viewed this event.
Every year, volunteer citizen scientists participate in a manual count of river herring moving from the Cape Cod Canal through the Monument River and into Great & Little Herring Ponds. Blueback and Alewife river herring spawn in the river and ponds. They are counted by an electronic counter and our volunteers. Data we generate becomes part of a study of river herring runs in Eastern New England.
