For those who missed Jim Shortreed’s presentation on herring at Forbes Hall last month, or for anyone inspired by the remarkable marine activity around us during this year’s herring run, you’ll have another opportunity to learn more.

Pacific Herring in the Strait of Georgia: Status, Science, and the Path to Recovery
Tuesday, March 31 at 6:30 PM (via Zoom)

Jim Shortreed has spent several years researching Pacific herring using Department of Fisheries and Oceans data, harvest records, and rebuilding plans. He is also actively involved in grassroots efforts advocating for a pause on industrial herring fisheries until stocks have recovered.

This timely talk will provide valuable insight into the current state of herring populations and what recovery could look like, especially relevant as we witness the vibrant return of marine life along our shores.
