I'm so sad to have missed this and also so excited that New Yorkers want to throw migrating fish a party! That's the kind of connection we need more of--like there's the knowledge and trying to protect, but we also need the love and the joy and celebration, so yay for the latter! (PS. we had similar here with the grunion--like a big nighttime beach party!)
I believe efforts have been less successful here, but maybe also smaller-scale? I’d need to ask John Waldman for more details, since I know he thinks about this a lot. Maybe in a future letter!
This is incredible?!?

PS. On a fun note, it was called the Fishtival here at the aquarium. You have to say it out loud to get the full effect:)
Have there been any attempts to reintroduce shad to the Hudson? It’s worked out pretty well in dc
