How do hundreds of thousands of shellfish seed make it from the Harwich Shellfish Lab into local waters each year?

Join Harwich’s Director of Natural Resources Stephanie Ridenour for an exploration into the science and strategy of shellfish propagation, the hurdles of herring runs, and the world of water quality.

Learn more about how the town protects, preserves, and enhances Harwich’s wonderful natural resources. We’ll also discuss how many of our community members support these initiatives — and how you can too!

This talk will last between 1-1.5 hours.

Admission for each talk is $5 per person payable at the door by cash, check, or card.

Space is limited to approximately 112 people. Once capacity is reached, the doors close. Please arrive early to find a seat.
