Here's what's planned:
Sharks and Shark Bites
Thursday, June 21 from 7-8 p.m.
Monmouth
County is home to many different species of sharks: great white, mako,
blue and thresher to name just a few. It’s also home to the legendary
shark attacks of 1916 that inspired the movie “Jaws”. As we enter
summer, this talk will get into the history and ecology of local sharks
as well as why they are important to protect. Not to be missed by any
shark enthusiast!
Striped Bass: Scales and Tales of a Favorite Fish
Thursday, August 23 from 7-8 p.m.
Over
the years, many people have caught a striped bass, but what do people
really know about this popular fish? Join us for an enlightening and
fun-filled program on the history and ecology of striped bass, the myths
surrounding them, and their importance to our local aquatic
environment. What do they eat, who eats them, and where do the bass go
for the winter? It will be a fascinating time!
