Chesapeake Bay River Herring Conservation--2017 Citizen Science Newsletter
Description:
Throughout much of recent history, river herring were abundant along the Atlantic coast. However, River herring are in trouble. This project studies two species (alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus and blueback herring, Alosa aestivalis). The Chesapeake Bay River Herring Project, led by SERC’s Fish and Invertebrate Ecology Lab, hopes to track herring Chesapeake Bay tributaries to identify how many river herring there are and identify any changes in their populations.
