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.
