Science & Stories: Ecological & Economic Impacts of Herring

Join us for our program series, Science & Stories, which will include special programs that bring our community together to share stories and information about marine and coastal science topics, as well as local history. These programs will feature a presentation by a guest speaker followed by a Q&A session where you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions.
We’ll be joined by the Herring Gut Coastal Science Center (HGCSC) for a presentation focusing on Atlantic and river herring. The discussion will delve into their ecological and economic impacts on the watershed, sharing a fresh perspective on this topic for our community. 
This program-lecture series is reserved for adults. Please reach out with questions.
