Understanding the coupled dynamics of the ocean and freshwater ecosystems though the migration of anadromous fish is a critical need to build resilient ecosystems and populations. This project uses passive induced transponder tagging of migrating river herring in the Coonamessett River to help identify areas to target restoration and to evaluate the success of the restoration.
