Herring Project

We Are proud parents.

We have had herring spawn at both Garden Bay and Bargain Bay. The eggs at both locations have hatched successfully and the curtains have been pulled and cleaned at Garden Bay. It is very interesting to see a large number of dead eggs atached to the creosoted poles in Bargain Bay while the eggs on the curtains were very healthy and you could see eyes inside the eggs.

Fisheries have offered to store the curtains for us so we can repeat the process next year. 

This is only the beginning of a project that may have significant impact to the Harbour by bringing back the herring.
