Description:
Behind the Scenes at the Milford Fisheries Laboratory with Mark Dixon and Gillian Phillips, NOAA Fisheries Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Milford, CT
Have you ever wondered what kind of science is conducted at a fisheries laboratory? Meet NOAA scientists from the Northeast Fisheries Science Center's Laboratory in Milford, CT, who study shellfish and investigate questions that help shellfish growers around the world. You will learn about what oysters eat, how they are helping make a cleaner Long Island Sound, and see, through real fish surveillance, how shellfish farms can become a habitat for other species. The webinar lasts about 45 minutes with moderated questions and answers throughout. Aimed at grades 2-8, but all ages will enjoy. (Recorded on November 18, 2020)
**American Sign Language was provided live via a video remote interpreter during the webinar.
