Herring return to the South Shore

Herring spend most of their lives in the ocean. But the survival of the species depends on their leaving the sea, swimming upstream to spawn in the fresh waters where they were born.

In Massachusetts alone, they fill up about 100 herring runs in Weymouth, Plymouth, Pembroke and many rivers in between.
