Celebrate World Fish Migration Day With Us!

Join us for a day of action this Saturday, May 21st to celebrate the return of migratory fish to the Charles River on World Fish Migration Day!  Migratory fish are essential to the Charles River ecosystem, and they desperately need our help. Defunct dams, impacts of climate change, degraded water quality, invasive species— these vital species are threatened at every turn, but we have an opportunity to change the course with dam removal & river restoration. We have plenty of ways to get involved for all ages, both in-person and virtually! Explore the resources below & ways to take action to support migratory fish in the Charles River.
