Counting Over for 2010 - With Disappointing Results

[Note: This post was republished today as there was data issue with our blog account. It was originally posted a couple of days prior].

We ended the counting for 2010 at the end of the day Tuesday May, 4th.

The total number of herring that were counted for this year is shown below, with the final counts from the prior years included as well:

2010 ~ 478
2009 ~ 1,332
2008 ~ 5,232
2007 ~ 1,741
2006 ~ 719


Clearly, 2010 was a very disappointing herring migration.

Again, I'd like to thank all who counted this year. I know it wasn't much fun with all of those zeros. But as I told many of you who came to River Day last Sunday,"zero is better then nothing" as we at least know what has occurred.

We'll post the total projection from these counts when we get that number back from the state. And if we can get them, some comparisons with the results from other runs.
