The symposium, with
fish movement as the theme, is open to the public. There is no fee to attend, but registration is required at ILoveNYFishing.com or www.nyseagrant.org/losportfish.
“The program is designed to provide new and useful
information from fish basics to the latest cutting edge fisheries technology to
a broad range of anglers,” says co-organizer Jesse Lepak, Ph.D., a Great Lakes
Fisheries and Ecosystem Health Specialist with New York Sea Grant, Oswego, N.Y.
“Our goal is to attract aspiring anglers as well as
generating interest in sustainable fisheries by raising awareness about Lake
Ontario’s fabulous fisheries and fishing opportunities,” Lepak adds.
Ten educational seminars will be held throughout the day
with question-and-answer sessions following morning and afternoon speaker
sessions. Visitors can attend any or all of the programs.
There will be a variety of informational posters developed
by regional fish managers and researchers, fish tank exhibits, outdoor gear
vendors, door prizes, and activities, such as crafts and casting, for learning
more about fish, fishing, and fisheries.
Keynote speaker Silviya Ivanova, Ph.D. student with the
Great Lakes Institute for Environmental Research, University of Windsor, Windsor,
Ontario, will discuss her research tracking salmon and trout in Lake Ontario at
3:00 pm.
