Fish jam on the Back River, Weymouth MA

#RiverHerring #NatureRocks #GetOutside

I recorded this video in 2022 of river herring stuck below Armstrong dam. A few days into the first migration season post-dam removal, we found fish everywhere we looked in the Monatiquot R watershed. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

38°F rain- not a great day for Middleborough Herring Fest.But the river herring are running, I spent the day by Nemasket River talking to people who braved the weather to celebrate their return, & got sparkly fish face paint! 🐟

High St. Dam removal & bridge replacement will reconnect 10 river miles and 354 acres of #riverherring & #eel habitat & reduce flood risk. #NatureBasedSolutions

Baby #riverherring like these in the Nemasket River in '21 need a ride to the sea, where they grow for 2-4 yrs. Healthy rivers, bays & ocean all need #foragefish.

Thanks to @RobertKearns for giving me a tour of the lower Monatiquot River. Another abused urban river where #Riverherring, rainbow smelt & even river otter are making it work. #naturerocks #getoutside
