The Secret Life of Eels: Studying Maryland's Eel Population
While eels are a historically significant fishery and species within the Chesapeake, much remains unknown about the elusive American eel. Join Natural Resource Biologist Alexis Park (Maryland Department of Natural Resources) to explore ongoing research in the Maryland Eel Population Study which is investigating the American eel population and its commercial fishery in Maryland. Through a variety of surveys, the study gathers important data on eels at different life stages, helping manage their numbers along the Atlantic coast.

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.
