SIP OF SCIENCE SERIES:
'FINVASION'
There’s something fishy in our water and its causing scales of destruction and swimming against the ecosystem.
Snakeheads and Blue Cats - oh my!
What’s the catch?
Blue Catfish are decimating fish populations across Maryland, and we need your help to address the issue
Join us for a unique lecture:
· Identify invasive species such as the Northern Snakehead and Blue Catfish
· What are the best practices to help prevent further spread.
· Participate in local conservation efforts and clean-up events.
· Educate the community about the impacts of invasive species on ecosystems.
