Update on River Herring Network Dec. 2017 — Each spring river herring come from the ocean and swim, or “run” up rivers to spawn in ponds and slow sections of rivers. Each fall, Massachusetts river herring wardens gather together to talk about their favorite fish and discuss ways to preserve it. For centuries, people used…
Read MoreBeyond Oysters: Expanding the shellfish market for alternative species
Expanding shellfish markets for alternative species Oysters on the half shell represent 94 percent of Massachusetts’s $28 million shellfish aquaculture industry. For an industry that has grown over 300 percent in value over the last ten years, some worry about the reliance on a monocrop: one bad year for oysters could be devastating to aquaculture…

Adaptations & Climate Change This program is a collaboration between the NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center and Woods Hole Sea Grant. Background What types of adaptations do marine mammals have and how are they dealing with climate change? In order to survive in their particular habitat, all animals must have structures and behaviors that enable them to…

Bioacoustics This program is a collaboration between the NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center and Woods Hole Sea Grant. Background Light is very limited in the ocean habitat. Below the photic zone (the depth to which sunlight is able to penetrate) it is very dark. For marine mammals, however, this vast 3-dimensional world is far from dark. The…
