Each spring, about 600,000 river herring migrate from the Gulf of Maine to the Mystic River, lakes and ponds to spawn. We used acoustic tagging with the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries to learn about their movement throughout the system and the effect of fish passage structures. This pilot study will inform the Massachusetts Division of Marine Resources with regards to management of spawning populations, as well as identify specific locations for focusing larger river herring monitoring efforts to better understand our annual visitors. The Massachusetts Bays National Estuary Program (MassBays) provided funding in support of this project, with additional support from Woods Hole Research Center Mystic River Watershed Association.

MIT Sea Grant participated in today’s Ocean Exploration Expo hosted by the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology and the House Oceans Caucus in the Capitol - an excellent opportunity to connect with policymakers and the growing network of ocean explorers! We shared MIT Sea Grant work including ocean modeling, biomimetic sensing, and autonomous navigation systems, and our visiting artist Keith Ellenbogen took us below the surface of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. Visit space2sea.mit.edu to learn more about Keith’s conservation photography project.
