SUMMARY:Nature Program: Nocturnal Elver (Eel) Walk
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: The Elversphere  \nCalling all eel lovers and the eel-curious! Come learn about the great migrations of the mysterious and awe-inspiring American eel as they arrive in the Camden harbor after being born in the Sargasso Sea over 1\,000 miles away. This event is timed with the nocturnal high tide\, to facilitate the best elver (young eel)-viewing experience.  \n \nParticipants will have the opportunity to see elvers from multiple angles within the park/falls area\, guided by local eel enthusiasts Michele Christle\, Eli Kao\, and Alison McKellar. We’ll talk about the life cycle of the American eel\, eel biology\, eel stories\, the elver fishery\, conservation\, the long history of Wabanaki-eel relations\, what eels have taught us about ourselves\, and more. \n \nThis event will be documented (film and photography) as part of The Elversphere documentary. If you do not want to be filmed\, please note this when you register. \n \nAll ages welcome.  \n \nRegistration: To register\, please fill out this brief form. Registration will be capped at 40. Email Rosie at rosieh@coastalmountains.org with any questions.  \n \nWhere to meet: We’ll gather here\, at Harbor Park in Camden at the corner of the retaining wall and the waterfall\, near the water. (Look for the people with flashlights.) \n \nBring/wear: Flashlights and grippy shoes.  \n \nAccessibility: Pathways through Camden Harbor Park are paved and gently sloped. The park also has a wheelchair accessible entrance. The walk itself will be under a quarter mile. \nAbout the Guides: \nMichele Christle is a writer and communications professional whose work explores culture\, ecology\, history\, and place.
