Throughout NY State and beyond, citizen scientists are rising up to protect a vulnerable species in decline, the American eel. A migratory fish with a large range and fascinating life cycle, the American eel is born in the Sargasso Sea and enters North American estuaries as transparent glass eels, eventually returning to the Atlantic years later to spawn.
A team of of scientists, students, and educators led by WCS is collecting data at sites near the NY Aquarium and the Bronx Zoo. Using eel mops and other techniques, data are collected and shared with partners to inform statewide conservation decisions. As they count, weigh and release glass eels and gather other environmental data, these volunteers are learning about the health of the wildlife and ecosystems found in our backyards.
