DESCRIPTION:World Fish Migration Day was May 9. Come celebrate with a deep dive into the hidden world of the Great Swamp and the Passaic River.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMost of the time\, our local fish stay tucked away beneath the surface\, but they have incredible stories to tell about the health of our watershed. Over a light breakfast\, we’ll take a look at the different species that call these waters home\, what their lives are actually like underwater\, and what their presence (or absence) says about the quality of our rivers today. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpots are limited. Registration required. Enjoy a light breakfast prior to the start of the presentation.\n\nGet tickets below: GSWA Members are Free | Non-members $10 (Adult) and $5 (Child)\nEco Pro Tip: Purchase a discounted annual GSWA Family Membership today to attend this (and future briefings) for free—plus enjoy member-only events\, discounts\, and more while supporting the long-term protection of the Great Swamp Watershed and the Passaic River. \n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions or need to cancel?
