Before European settlers arrived in Maine, river herring were plentiful in the rivers and ponds, and provided a bountiful source of food for people and wildlife. Populations declined with the widespread construction of dams and pollution of waterways over the last two centuries. Today, dams and old or poorly designed culverts and bridges often prevent river herring from reaching their spawning grounds. Fishing by domestic and foreign trawlers in the 1960s contributed to the decline of river herring populations. River herring are currently caught as bycatch in Atlantic herring and mackerel fisheries, but efforts are underway to limit this incidental catch. Pollution from urbanization and industrialization also impacts river herring population health. Both alewives and blueback herring are considered to be very highly vulnerable to climate change, largely due to changes in water temperature and variable river flow, as well as the complexity of their life cycle (Hare et al. 2016). Despite these challenges, river herring are very responsive to restoration efforts, and their populations have started to rebound in recent years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620d309da4e0571fdaa948e6/e4b24c95-6b64-4c38-9bc4-6bcce16b7a14/Fish-Stocking-Frost-1.jpg River Herring - Co-management and Community Leadership Fisheries collaborative management, or co-management, is a governance structure where resource users and governments share responsibility to manage a fishery.

It was all that we could have asked for and more. With roughly 50 participants in attendance (traveling in from Connecticut, all the way to the Canadian border) there was plenty of knowledge, capacity, enthusiasm and passion in the room. It was a full day that seemed way to short with the goal of everyone sharing updates on the work they are doing on river herring. From educators to fishermen and local stewards, to state, Tribal and Federal fisheries managers, and lots of NGOs we were able to cover so much ground on the current state of river herring. And just as important, we were able to talk about what we aren’t doing, and how we can work together to fill those gaps and further our collective work in the restoration and co-management of such an important species. The first half of the day was focused on presentations (see below videos) with the second half focused on group discussions, networking, and connecting people working in shared waters, the day was a huge success. Special Thanks to Maine Sea Grant and The Nature Conservancy for sponsoring this amazing event. https://www.gomriverherringnetwork.org/education-and-outreach daily 0.75 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/620d309da4e0571fdaa948e6/ad4104b9-82dc-459d-97b0-e77ad340eece/education+and+outreach+page+v2.PNG Education and Outreach - Are you conducting river herring-focused education or outreach activities?
