Science and Technical Advisory Committee Publishes

White Paper on American Shad and River Herring

Threats remain on depleted populations of key migratory fish in the Delaware River Basin 

The Delaware Estuary Program’s Science and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) released a new white paper entitled the Life History, Population Status, and Restoration of American Shad and River Herring in the Delaware River Basin. The primary role of the STAC is to offer objective, expert guidance and peer review on scientific and technical issues that support the goals of the Delaware Estuary Program and its partners. This includes advancing initiatives outlined in the Program’s Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP).
