Tropical Fish in New England?

This is a great family event, especially for the kids!

We will be seining; which is pulling a fish net through shallow water, up onto the beach, and discover all sorts of marine life, letting the children help gather the fish and marine life collected in the net. There will be a large touch tank set up, for all to enjoy, with lobsters, crabs, starfish, baby tropical fish, etc. As we gather out catch, let our experts teach you about the tropical fish you can observe in our on-site holding aquariums. There will be organized regular scuba diving as well as designated tropical collecting areas.

Tom Bergendahl will offer an “introduction to kayaking or kayak diving”

There will also be volleyball, music, lots of raffles, and of course diving and a great variety of food.

Never caught tropical fish before? Let our experts show you how. Extra collecting nets will be available.

All are welcome. Join us for a fun filled day!

ALL PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT THE COTTING SCHOOL

If you plan to attend, or for directions or additional information, contact Al Bozza at Programs@neadc.org so we can get a headcount.

An episode of Jonathan Bird's Blue World was filmed at the 2009 Tropical Fish Rescue. There's some great video of what the topicals look like underwater, and some of the techniques to catching them!
