Shore11.org: River Herring in Peril- A Call to action


Photo credit: Shore11.org


By Capt. Paul Eidman: "I am in the process of developing a grass roots, volunteer effort and create a "Herring Lift" program along the mid Atlantic region, starting right here in NJ to help preserve what is left of the depleted river herring population. If you or an organization you work with is interested in helping out, please reach out to me ASAP. The term “River herring” is actually used to describe two anadromous species, The Alewife and Blueback. River herring are a vital part of the marine food web providing valuable nutrition to a large variety of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles.
