Join Belfast Bay Watershed Coalition and Shannaghe for this new film about a slippery enigma that lives here in Maine. Swimming across history, oceans, and cultures, the American eel is tiny, slimy, and incredibly valuable to Maine. It fuels our second largest fishery--a $20 billion industry—and also faces some challenges, including dams. From Maine harvesters to Asian aquaculturists, and from unagi experts to scientists, the elversphere captures the dynamics, surfaces a web of relations, and offers unexpected perspectives on ecological and societal crises.
It's 9,970 square acres of land and water and the primary source of our drinking water. It's also the backbone of a region that depends on commercial fisheries, farming, hunting, and recreation to thrive.
As Leonardo da Vinci once said, "Water is the driving force of all nature." And nature includes us.
At BBWC, we work to protect the watershed with school programs, presentations, Bird Week walks, research, and more. Join us.
