Peconic River Fishway Under Construction
After almost a decade of hard work and perseverance, the Peconic Estuary Program has begun construction of a permanent “rock ramp” style fishway at the Grangebel Park dam in the Peconic River. This bypass channel will allow migratory fish, such as alewife and American eel to move freely between the Peconic Bay and 1.5 miles of critical river habitat above the dam in Riverhead.

2010 Alewife Survey - Underway
Volunteers are helping Long Island fishery biologists search for alewives returning to Long Island's streams and rivers for their annual spawning migration (April-May). These efforts are important to help inform restoration efforts for alewife, a native species of river herring that is important to the Island's coastal ecosystems. The survey runs through May 30th. Let us know if you're interested in joining the effort.
