Shad, River Herring and Eels in Massachusetts

Part of our WaterWatch Lecture Series.
John Sheppard, Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries – These curious fish migrate thousands of miles between fresh and saltwater and are incredibly important to our ocean and aquatic food webs. John Sheppard of the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries Diadromous Fish project will share the latest news about their current populations and efforts to restore their habitat. These fish are incredibly important but their populations are at historic lows but recent efforts to restore their habitat are showing promise!

The WaterWatch Lecture Series is FREE and open to the public. Sponsored by Clean Harbors, Rockland Federal  Credit Union, and Mass Cultural Council. Brought to you by the North and South Rivers Watershed Association, the South Shore Natural Science Center, Mass Audubon South Shore Sanctuaries, and the South Shore YMCA.
