You’re invited to Herring Gut Coastal Science Center’s Spring Reception in Washington, DC. Executive Director, Sarah D. Oktay, PhD. will share what’s happening at the Center as we head into our 26th year.

Alewives are anadromous (sea-run) fishes that spawn in spring. They have a historic significance in the state of Maine, but are currently under threat from pollution and habitat loss. Habitat restoration efforts, including the construction of fish ladders, have helped alewives return to their natal streams. Join HG educators to learn more about this important fish and see the amazing annual migration for yourself!
