A new, solar-powered, electronic fish monitor at the Herring River in Harwich is at work counting the fish for which the river is named as they make their annual spring migration to the region. The newly-installed counter is the only one on the Cape, and one of four statewide.
Kathryn Eident talked with Brad Chase, of the state's division of Marine Fisheries, to learn more about why the counter is important to preserving this endangered species.
