"Fish passage is monitored via a remote camera system"

anybody else interested in the camera being accessible for public viewing like the eagles nest was at the Duke estate if it's possible?

iirc, there is no power or internet out at the fish ladder. the fisheries guys had to charge batteries for the cameras and swap out tapes when they were doing the studies.

We monitored the spawning run for 11 years. 2012 was the final year of Job I-

5: American Shad Restoration in the Raritan River.

See: Shad of the Raritan River By Jaime Darrow and Brian Neilan, Seasonal Fisheries Technicians @ http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/pdf...digfsh8-15.pdf

The above FW Digest went to print before we had reviewed all of the tapes.

The final total is 63,829 fish migrating through the ladder,......with 3,752 of those, American shad,........during 11 years of monitoring.
