2/6/2008: Fishway Workshop for Volunteers
The Town of Greenwich Conservation Commission is looking to expand its current volunteer base and monitoring program at the Mianus Pond Fishway. The fishway, which was constructed in 1993, allows diadromous fishes such as alewives and blueback herring that spend a portion of their lives in freshwater and saltwater to gain access to important spawning and feeding grounds in the Mianus River. Although herring populations over the past two decades have drastically declined and remain in a depressed state throughout much of their range, the largest herring run utilizing a fishway in the State of Connecticut was observed at the town owned fishway this past spring.
