The American Eel is also a commercially important species, so there is a strong federal and state effort to monitor their population status. Since 2013, the Coastal Research Volunteers have assisted NH Fish and Game in expanding the number of sites at which they monitor eel migration.
Coastal Research Volunteers conduct daily monitoring at an eel migration site on the Oyster River. American Eel monitoring is a project of the NH Sea Grant Coastal Research Volunteers program.
