From WOOD COUNTY DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY
On Monday, May 18 at 7 p.m., the Wood County District Public Library live-streams an online presentation via Google Meet from conservation biologist Dr. Matt Cross on the work done by the Toledo Zoo in rearing and re-introducing the lake sturgeon into the Maumee River.
In the 1800s, lake sturgeon were abundant in the Maumee River, however, demand for resources, along with commercial over-fishing, caused the population to decline and ultimately disappear.
“We are excited to share this environmental conservation success story with a local focus. It’s a great story that I think our community will find fascinating and be able to connect to,” said Information Services Coordinator Kristin Wetzel.
