| Skippy is a Nemasket River fish adopted by S. Bradley, W. McDonald, and K. Cassidy; some of his adopters helped participate in collecting the 625 river herring that were transported to the Ipswich River for restoration. Skippy was tagged, transported, and released on April 30. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
