Warm temps this week have put #riverherring season round 2 into full swing. Check out this clip of river herring, likely blueback herring, spawning at our downstream antenna. We tagged 100 fish this week and hope to track them as they move upstream and past old #BloedeDam.
@down2LARSgirl Worst part is people on the HOA boards break all the rules. Satellite dishes, parking boats and motorcycles in parking spots, sheds taller than the backyard fence. Ridiculous

We are highlighting our #Top10 happy memories from 2020. #9: We caught our 1st American Shad in the 40 yr history of the Rhode River Trawl Survey. This catch was encouraging as American Shad, our nation's "founding fish", have declined over the last century. #SERCLT#ChesBay
One of the many reasons to love #saltmarshes is that they provide an essential source of nutrients and habitat for fished species in the #ChesBay including blue crabs and atlantic menhaden. #science@SmithsonianWls
Tropical Storm Isaias gave our streams some of the highest flows they've seen in a decade, topping Tropical Storm Nicole in 2010 and Hurricane Irene & Tropical Storm Lee in 2011. But last Friday's thunderstorm topped them all: Two SERC streams saw their highest flows in 25 years!
Check out Mallows Bay-Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary on @CBSThisMorning featuring @ChesConserv. Home to the remnants of more than 100 WWI-era steamships known as the "Ghost Fleet", the sanctuary is the perfect place to immerse yourself in history. https://t.co/Y9OTNLmKgv
Nearly three months after stay-at-home orders were issued across the Chesapeake Bay region due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our restoration work is back in action (with proper safeguards, of course) https://t.co/uVLKJJP5uj
