of video taken at the Upper Mystic Lakes Dam. Recent updates to this dam and other streamflow obstructions mean that herring are making it back to spawning grounds that have been cut off for over 100 years. For instance, DMF is currently grading a streambed
for the fish to reach Horn Pond in Woburn. Some great photos from yesterday’s Boston Harbor Ecosystem Network field trip are

This video-counting operation complements a live volunteer counting program that’s been running for years, and happily the data comparing the two methods matched up pretty well in the first year. MyRWA is working with a number of area schools on this effort
