Forage Fish Spring Forum April 26
Join us on Wednesday, April 26th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm on Zoom. The event will feature keynote speakers who have used data collected by Project Watershed Citizen Scientists in their research, including Jacqueline Huard, who used our data to develop the Intertidal Habitat Suitability Model.
The forum will include door prizes, annual awards, and presentations on new research findings. From 7-8pm, three scientists will discuss recent forage fish research, followed by updates from active BCFFMN conservation members from 8-9pm.
Don’t miss out on this exciting event! Register now to connect with fellow conservationists and stay up-to-date on the latest developments in forage fish research and conservation efforts in British Columbia.
