River Herring Count Training Marshfield

The North and South Rivers Watershed Association and the MassBays National Estuary Partnership are working hard to restore our local rivers and we need your help to document our river herring populations. We are seeking volunteers from late March through early June to count herring to count at the 5 locations throughout the South Shore.

Find out more, sign up to volunteer and register for a training session.

The counting is easy, fun, and based on your availability and only takes 10 minutes! Several in-person training sessions will be held for new volunteers. These will be held at multiple locations. However, the methods are generic to all sites so you can attend any training regardless of the site you register to count at. We will also post on-line training information as we get closer to the start of the counts.
