Crossroads at Big Creek is once again hosting their Fish Tale Lecture series in their lecture hall at the facility. The goal of these lectures is to introduce people to the scientific research going on in the Great Lakes right now. The first lecture will be talking about protecting the Great Lakes from invasive species such as Asian Carp. The speaker will be a woman from the Michigan DNR, however, the lecture will be conducted online due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Crossroads will stream the lecture in their lecture hall, and the Door County Library will also have zoom connections and Facebook Live streams set up for people to view the lecture. Some of the other lecture topics will discuss things like the movement of fish within the Great Lakes, and the science behind that lecture has to deal with the tracking of baby fish. In February and March topics will include how researchers chemically test for evidence of invasive species in the Great Lakes, and information on the suckerfish run that is quite a popular site at Crossroads specifically. All lectures are free to the public and available for everyone.
