MIT Sea Grant in collaboration with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) will be coordinating a volunteer group to conduct river herring monitoring on the Charles River this year. The monitoring will consist of visual counts that will take place at the Watertown Dam between April 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020. There will be an information and training session in early March. The information collected through this effort will help provide a better understanding of the river herring populations that use the Charles River each year, and will contribute to the Massachusetts state-wide river herring monitoring and assessment program.
MIT Sea Grant are the same people that helped us develop the new depth chart of the river, so let's help them out.
