American Eel: The Underappreciated Hero of Aquatic Ecosystems

The American eel is a key part of many aquatic systems, but is often misunderstood. Dr. Jim Vasslides, Barnegat Bay Partnership’s Senior Program Scientist, will talk about the fascinating story of the American eel in North America, its unusual and mysterious life history, and why they are worth 10 times more than silver! He will also discuss the Partnership’s American eel monitoring project, which just started its tenth year this February.
