Join us for a fascinating lecture with Catherine Schmitt (right, top) author of The President's Salmon and the Honorable Madonna Soctomah (right, below), former Passamaquoddy Tribal Representative with the Maine State Legislature and St. Croix International Waterway Commissioner.
This lecture launches the U.S. East Coast celebration of the International Year of the Salmon, an effort to raise awareness about the challenges salmon face from environmental change and human activities across the Northern Hemisphere.
Crossing Countries and Cultures
Salmon undertake epic migrations through rivers and oceans that take them across borders, languages, cultures, and economies.
Every spring for thousands of years, the rivers that empty into the North Atlantic Ocean have turned silver with migrating fish, including the Atlantic salmon, the "king of fish." From New York to Labrador, from Russia to Portugal, sea-bright salmon defied current, tide, and gravity, driven inland by instinct and memory to the very streams where they emerged from gravel nests years before.
