<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<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>will travel to locations in Dennis, Brewster, Harwich, Orleans and Wellfleet and 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.
