On April 10, the Bronx River Alliance was thrilled to celebrate the opening of the first fish passage on the Bronx River, a project led by NYC Parks’ Natural Resources Group.
The Fish Passage will help to establish a sustainable river herring population on the Bronx River, attract and provide more food for native wildlife, contribute to regional efforts to protect river herring by expanding access to habitat, and maximize the ecological health and value of the Bronx River. This fish passage is a part of on-going efforts to improve the Bronx River and restore NYC’s coastal ecosystem.
