Positive outlook in Cape Cod, Massachusetts regarding river herring runs this year. The article, which can be found by clicking here, discusses Pilgrim Lake, barriers impeding river herring migration, and marine bycatch. Unfortunately, there is still no discussion regarding juvenile alewife or the productivity within lakes. Hopefully the work coming out of UMass Amherst (soon) will greatly contribute to these conversations and add some much needed insight into what’s going on in freshwater lakes.

“The combined effects of drought, climate change and dam building are pushing the resources of the Mekong Basin to the brink of disaster,” said Maureen Harris, Southeast Asia program director of the river protection organisation, International Rivers.

Most of us are aware that hydropower dams negatively affect fish migrations, but a new study out of Oregon State University has found that varying dam flows can devastate downstream insect populations.
“For the first time, this study determines the ecological impacts of hydropeaking separated from other dam-imposed stressors, and identifies the specific cause-and-effect relationships responsible for biodiversity loss below hydroelectric dams,” said Ted Kennedy, USGS scientist and lead author of the study.

River Herring are back in Weymouth, MA in impressive numbers, according to a Wicked Local article. They are currently averaging around 9,000 alewife per day. Wow!
In other news, Exelon and the US Fish and Wildlife Service announced a landmark agreement to restore American shad and river herring to the East Coast's largest river (the Susquehanna) over the next 50 years. To do this, Exelon will improve fish passage at Conowingo dam and transport up to 100,000 river herring and 100,000 American shad annually so they can reach their spawning grounds (which are located above four dams).

Four large hydro dams that block salmon migration in the Klamath River are set to be removed!!
“This historic agreement will enable Oregon and California and the interested parties to get these four dams finally removed and the Klamath River restored to its pristine beauty," Gov. Jerry Brown said.

A paper recently published in the journal Environmental Pollution showcases plastics far reaching ‘life cycle’. Typically we hear about plastics in the ocean, but what about our freshwater systems? In the paper titled, ‘The Danube so colourful: A potpourri of plastic litter outnumbers fish larvae in Europe's second largest river’, authors outline the overwhelming plastic content of the Danube (which flows through 10 nations). An alarming find? Plastic content in the river is higher than that of larval fish and the input into the Black Sea via the Danube is estimated to be 4.2 tons/day.

“It is deeply unfair for Congress to put our fisheries at risk and then prevent experts from protecting them.”
The Connecticut River is amazing, but one that faces the same problems as many others located across the United States. The basin contains more than 1000 dams, some of which produce electricity for surrounding states. Local entities work hard to create fish passage, decent habitat, and natural flow despite so many dams (and other obstacles). Recent legislation, however, is working hard to decrease these agencies abilities to have a say in what goes on during dam relicensing (an event that only occurs every 30-50 year). Read an opinion piece about this matter here, it’s a topic that likely doesn’t get discussed enough.
