Tufts and MWRA collaborate to clean up Mystic Watershed

Most Tufts students think that Alewife is just an MBTA stop with a nearby movie theater. Those students who attended Saturday's "Restore the Mystic River Watershed!" Conference know better. An Alewife is actually a small herring that travels up the Mystic River to spawn, and its struggle to survive is representative of the larger problems facing the Mystic River Watershed.
