Volunteer River Herring Monitoring at Beaver Dam Brook and Manomet Brook

Herring have been seen and counted

Water in Beaver Dam Brook today was a little cooler than optimum, but never the less 2 herring were counted swimming upstream. The 8 foot + tide this morning likely helped send them along. Morning tides through Wednesday are in the 8 foot range. They are then a little lower until early May. May 6 and 11, we get 9 foot + tides which could bode well. Keep the faith and keep counting. You can check the tides here If you are curious about other herring runs, you can check out Town Brook via their live cam and participate in a
virtual count.
