We are grateful to every organization and individual that has adopted one of the released river herring. Every fish seemed to have its own path--we definitely saw some interesting movements in the Ipswich.

                          Thank You For Participating and Adopting a Fish!

We received a lot of support, notes, and emails from the adopters regarding our research. Some came into the field and helped us catch, net, transport, and count the fish. 

When each fish was adopted,  we agreed to present your fish's story and the results of our findings to the adoptive organizations in return.

Haven't heard about your fish yet? Contact Holly to schedule.

We presented our findings about Hannah to the Plum Island Surfcasters on January 15, 2007.
We also received support from:
