Habitat use and Recovery Techniques for Herring

Led by Long Live the Kings
Collaborators include the Nisqually Indian Tribe, Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, University of Washington.

Herring are economically and culturally important and provide food for fish, birds and marine mammals throughout the Salish Sea, but many herring stocks are not doing well. This collaborative project will test different herring recovery tools adapted from indigenous practices to help find ways to support or improve herring spawn (laying of eggs).
