1 Welcome to World Fish Migration Day the Connecticut Version! May 24, 2014 has been designated as World Fish Migration Day (or WFMD) and there will be events and celebrations all around the world. To learn about events in other countries, go to To learn about what is going on in Connecticut, READ ON! WFMD events in Connecticut are sponsored by The Nature Conservancy- Connecticut Chapter (an international conservation organization), the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (a State government natural resource management agency), Princeton Hydro (a private environmental engineering firm), and many other local partners who will be identified later. Mirgratory fish have played an important role in the history of Connecticut and their importance is undiminished today. Throughout the day on May 24 th, some of the organizations that are working to protect and restore runs of migratory fish will be telling their story through lectures, tours, and Open Houses. Whether you are an angler, a naturalist, or just interested in nature or engineering, there will be something for you to learn and see. With some luck if conditions are right there will be active fish migrations occurring on May 24 that you can observe. Events will be geared for the entire family. This pool below a fishway is full of migrating alewives! Events fall into one of four categories. First, there will be two presentations in the morning to tell attendees about migratory fish. To learn more about that, scroll down past the description of all the participating sites (page 18). Second, there will be a guided progressive tour of five fishways (structures that allow fish to migrate around dams) for a limited number of participants, third there will be open houses at other fishways in the 1
2 state where visitors can drop in on their own schedule to be shown the fishway, and fourth, there will be some fishways visitors can have a tour at a specific time. To learn about these events and find directions to the participating fishways, see below. Fishway tours and open houses There will be 15 fishways across the state open to the public where visitors can learn about fish and hopefully even see some as they swim up the fishways. Below is a Connecticut map of the participating fishways, each marked with a number and a legend providing the name of each fishway. Below that we have listed information about each fishway, and provided the hours it will be open, the street address, and the latitude and longitude. Scan through the list and find ones either near you or in areas you ve always wanted to visit. Print or copy the information for your visit on May 24 th. Visit one or visit many. There will be signs near each site, pointing you in the right direction. There is no charge to visit any of these fishways. (One is actually not a fishway but a location where a large dam was removed to make the river safer for fish and humans. Visit it to hear the story of how that happened!) 2
