About the event
Join us for this new film about a slippery enigma that lives here in Maine. Swimming across history, oceans, and cultures, the American eel is tiny, slimy, and incredibly valuable to Maine. It fuels our second largest fishery--a $20 billion industry—and also faces some challenges, including dams. From Maine harvesters to Asian aquaculturists, and from unagi experts to scientists, the elversphere captures the dynamics, surfaces a web of relations, and offers unexpected perspectives on ecological and societal crises.
