MARINE NIGHT Victoria Natural History Society Dr. Caroline Fox is a Killam Postdoctoral Fellow at Dalhousie University and UVic and a Conservation Scientist with Raincoast Conservation Foundation. Every year, Pacific herring, a small but crucially important forage fish, gather to spawn on nearshore and intertidal zones along Canada’s Pacific coast. Spawn events attract large aggregations of predators and scavengers, including black bears and other terrestrial consumers.

Dr. Fox will explain the importance of Pacific herring, their spawn events, and their connections with intertidal and terrestrial ecosystems.
