In the years since NOAA and partners removed Bloede Dam, monitoring has found evidence of alewife and blueback herring using the reopened habitat on the Patapsco River.
NOAA Fisheries has developed an Atlantic Coast habitat conservation plan for river herring. It addresses threats, data gaps, and recommendations to benefit these species at a coastwide level.
The Audubon Society of Rhode Island and the New Bedford Whaling Museum teams join NOAA Fisheries, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, and Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary in sponsoring Whale SENSE.
Seaweed farmers and businesses, academics, state and federal agencies, non-profits, and community leaders gathered to celebrate the growing domestic seaweed industry.
NOAA Fisheries and our partners are always seeking ways to monitor and track endangered North Atlantic right whale movements to better understand whale behavior and mitigate threats impeding their recovery.
