Holding out for a Herring
Henrietta the river herring is not a particularly glamorous fish. But she\u2019s got grit. Every summer, she swims out to the Atlantic ocean, and every spring, she makes the 500 mile journey back to Maryland\u2019s Patapsco River, where she was born\u2014a habitat that\u2019s been only partially accessible to herring like her for more than a century. But this year will be different. Join the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center\u2019s herring tagging team as they study what happens to herring like Henrietta when someone gives a dam.
