Streams and rivers along the East Coast once “ran silver” every spring as alewives and other diadromous fish made their annual spawning migrations from saltwater to freshwater. Join Peconic Baykeeper Pete Topping as we search for alewives in Southampton’s Alewife Creek. On this ~1/2 mile maintained trail walk, we will learn about the history of these threatened and ecologically important fish as well as the efforts being made to protect their future on Long Island. We will also be joined by representatives from the Peconic Estuary Partnership. This will also be a great opportunity to see osprey, herons, and egrets so bring binoculars if you have them!  Please dress for the weather and be aware that ticks may be present. We will notify all registrants in the event of a cancellation due to weather.
