Horn Pond Herring Monitoring Training

  • Mystic River Watershed Association P. O. Box 390 Arlington, MA 02476-0004 (map)

Calling all citizen scientists! Help the Herring!

Each spring over 1/2 million river herring migrate from the ocean up the Mystic River to the Mystic Lakes and to Horn Pond. If lined up back-to-back, this would measure up to 100 miles of fish!

You are invited to participate in this spectacular wildlife migration by monitoring the herring once a week for 10 minutes at the Mystic Lakes. Monitoring occurs from 7am-7pm everyday during the migration season (April-June). More info here. Interested? Sign up to monitor below. Only registered monitors should attend the training.

You must register in advance to attend this online training.
