Join us as we learn about the amazing life cycle of the American eel, see live eels and find out how you can get involved in citizen science eel monitoring! American eels hatch in the Sargasso Sea between Bermuda and Puerto Rico and migrate over a thousand miles to estuaries and rivers like the Hudson. As eel populations decline, baseline information is needed on this important species. Volunteers and students from NYC to Troy check specialized nets in the spring to count the number of eels arriving into tributaries of the Hudson River.
