Thursday will begin the highly successful Fish Tales series again at Crossroads at Big Creek.  The series, founded by Mark Holey and Coggin Herringa, presents the science of Great Lakes Fisheries.  The Program Director and Naturalist at Crossroads, Heeringa says the idea behind Fish Tales came from a conversation with Holey after a hearing where inaccurate statements were made.  

A retired Great Lakes fish biologist, Holey worked for the Wisconsin DNR and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.  He says the series offers the public to learn first-hand the science behind managing the Great Lakes fisheries. 

The first Fish Tales Lecture Series is this Thursday at 7 p.m. and features Dr. David "Bo" Bunnel, a research fisheries biologist from the Great Lake Science Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  The topic will cover the opportunities and challenges of restoring native prey fishes to the Great Lakes.  If you can't attend the one-hour presentation, it will be offered via Zoom on the Door County Library website here. 

You can listen to the entire interview with Mark Holey and Coggin Heeringa on the podcast page here.
