The presentation ‘Ecology of the Gauntlet: Lessons Learned from Juvenile Salmon Migrations in British Columbia’ will be held at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23.

Juvenile salmon make an incredible and dangerous journey from the rivers where they hatch to the open ocean where they spend most of their lives. Dr. Nathan Furey, a fish ecologist at the University of New Hampshire, will discuss a pristine system in the Pacific Northwest where juvenile sockeye salmon must pass through a predator gauntlet to reach the ocean.

He will also explain how research findings on Pacific salmon may apply to salmon in the Gulf of Maine.

Furey holds degrees from the University of New England, Texas A&M University, and the University of British Columbia.

There is a $2 suggested donation. Bring your lunch to Mather Auditorium at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm.

Wells Reserve at Laudholm is at 342 Laudholm Farm Road in Wells.
