Long Live the Kings is partnering with the Nisqually Indian Tribe and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to research and recover herring in the Nisqually estuary. Together, we are surveying eelgrass meadows and monitoring the effectiveness of evergreen branches and cedar boughs as herring spawning habitat. The aim of the work is to better understand when and where herring spawn, and then boost their populations by supplementing spawning habitat using this traditional, tribal method.
