Sturgeons coexisted with dinosaurs, and survived asteroid blasts and glacial epochs. The conundrum of sturgeon is that despite their evolutionary resilience, they are particularly sensitive to human impacts. Dave Secor will introduce how Atlantic sturgeon, thought to be extinct in Maryland, were re-discovered as a small relict population in the Marshyhope Creek (eastern shore), and how scientists and the public are supporting their conservation. | | |
