Join the Old Lyme Conservation Commission and The Watershed Fund for the fourth program in the Connecticut River Watershed Webinar Series. Dive into the fascinating aquatic habitats of the Connecticut River and its tributaries. Explore the diverse ecosystems that support fish and other aquatic life, the challenges these habitats face, and the conservation efforts underway to protect and restore them.

The presenter, Stephen Gephard, brings more than 60 years of experience on the Connecticut River. Recently retired after 42 years as a fisheries biologist with the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP), Steve spent much of his career working on diadromous fish and habitat enhancement programs, including the Connecticut River salmon restoration program. He currently serves as Trustee and Vice Chair of the Connecticut River Conservancy and is a U.S. Commissioner to the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organization.

An avid paddler, boater, angler, and explorer, Steve combines scientific expertise with a lifelong personal connection to the river. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the remarkable aquatic world right in our own watershed!
