Fisheries biologist Amanda Higgs has been working on the Hudson for decades, catching, tagging, and studying Atlantic and Short-nosed Sturgeon, two federally-endangered fish that have existed since the Late Triassic Period, about 130 million years ago.
Sturgeon are the largest and most ancient fish in North America, and the Hudson River is considered one of their healthiest locations on the entire eastern seaboard. Amanda will describe both species, how they live and reproduce, current threats, and current management operations designed to help these amazing fish recover and thrive.
Come hear a real working biologist describe her hands-on and hands-wet conservation work.
