Lunch & Learn: Eels – a Salt/Fresh Water Mystery

Registration closes January 13, 11:00 AM

Let’s face it, for many people, eels may not be easy to like. They can make many people feel… uneasy. Is an eel a snake? Is it a fish? They don’t fit in any clear category. Some may think of eels as a tasty sushi roll. And yet to others, eels are mysterious creatures with a very interesting life cycle. They are predators in freshwater streams helping to regulate the population of other animals. They are also a significant source of food for fish, mammals, turtles and birds.

Humans have been fascinated with eels for centuries, working to learn as much as they can about them. Yet we do not have all the answers. Nature has a way of keeping us guessing. One thing we do know is that eels are ecologically important and can be used as a bio-indicator for pollution to determine the health of their environment.

Grab your lunch and join us for a FREE Zoom webinar as we delve into the fascinating world of eels and their unique life cycle. While this program is free for all participants, a small donation is always appreciated to help offset the cost of staff time.  🙂

You will receive the webinar Zoom link via email prior to the start of the program.

This is the 1st of 3 Lunch & Learn Zoom webinars focused on water quality and watershed friendly living. Check out our upcoming webinars: January 20 “Riverbanks and Riparian Buffers”; January 27 “PFAS in our Water.”
