About the American Eel Migration Project
The American Eel Migration Project is a collaborative initiative aimed at studying and protecting the migration patterns of American eels. These remarkable creatures undertake an extraordinary journey from freshwater rivers and streams to the vast depths of the Atlantic Ocean for spawning. Unfortunately, due to habitat loss, pollution, and other threats, the American eel population has been declining rapidly.
