<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Spring Run – Herring and Eels<br>
A 3-day field course<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">May 6 – 8, 2016<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Co-sponsored by Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and Cape Cod Cooperative Extension<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Celebrate the rites of spring by exploring the lives of two Cape Cod fish—river herring and eels. The fishes’ fascinating biology, rich cultural significance, and complex management and conservation stories will be revealed through field
trips to herring runs, lectures, and demonstrations. We will meet with local scientists, herring wardens, and traditional fishermen to further understand the history and future of herring and eels. And in our travels and explorations, the larger picture of
how these species are intricately tied to the region’s ecology will be revealed. At the end of the course you’ll be able to impress your friends with the proper use of the words of diadromous, anadromous, and catadromous!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Course Leader: Abigail Franklin Archer is the Marine Resource Specialist at the Barnstable County Cape Cod Cooperative Extension Service. She earned her Master’s degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Conservation at the University of Massachusetts,
Amherst during which time she worked as a research assistant at the USGS Conte Anadromous Fish Laboratory. Her research focused on evaluating river herring passage through various types of fish ladders at Town Brook in Plymouth, MA and the East River in Guilford,
CT. Through the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension Marine Program, she coordinates a group called the River Herring Network that organizes workshops for river herring wardens in Southeast Massachusetts. She began her career at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary
working as a Natural History Day Camp teacher and Children’s and Family Naturalist for many years.<o:p></o:p></p>
