Saugus
River Fish Monitoring
Since 2006, the Saugus River
Watershed Council, Division of Marine Fisheries, and the
National Park Service have been working in partnership
to monitor and restore anadromous fisheries in the watershed.
The
Saugus River provides important habitat for American eel,
rainbow smelt, herring and many other species of fish. Staff
and volunteers monitor rainbow smelt and American eel
populations each spring. Volunteers
are needed to assist with some of the field work associated
with these spring fish monitoring projects. For information,
contact the Council at srw@shore.net.
