Ten Mile River Watershed Council Fish Count Training Session
The Watershed will hold training in conjunction RI Fish and Game Department of Environmental Management.
EAST PROVIDENCE, RI — The Ten Mile River Watershed Council will host an open house and fish counting training session on Sunday at Hunts Mills. The sessions will be held in conjunction with the Rhode Island Fish and Wildlife Department of Environmental Management.
The open house will be held from 1 to 3:30 p.m. following the fish count from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is the sixth year of the fish count that last year counted 21,000 herring — up from 11,000 the year prior.
Volunteers will do a 10 minute count once a week, or more if they have time, and record water levels, temperature, weather conditions and count the herring seen swimming over the top of the fish ladder.
