Pacific Herring in the Salish Sea

Collaborative mapping and place-based conservation

Pacific Herring (Clupea pallasii) are an extremely important species in our local waters. Concerns about dwindling spawning events in several regions have led to this collaborative mapping project. The 2014 spawning season will be the pilot study as we continue to build our network of community organizations, citizens, and industry partners.
