Aquatic invasive species pose an existential threat to the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and ways of life associated with it such as crabbing and fishing. Through his lab at Salisbury University, Assistant Professor of Physiology Noah Bressman studies Blue Catfish and the Northern Snakehead to learn the best ways to manage their populations, while also supporting initiatives to encourage people to catch, kill, and or eat these invasive fish to try to keep their populations down.

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Speaker Series brings discussion about Chesapeake-related topics to the Van Lennep Auditorium. Events vary, but often include talks by industry experts, discussions with community members, performances by local artists, and screenings of relevant films. Regardless of the topic, each program will leave you with a greater appreciation for the people and environment of the Chesapeake Bay.

CBMM’s speaker events are offered in a hybrid format with options for both in-person and virtual tickets. The link to view the program virtually will be provided to all registrants before the program.
