The Ancient Giants of the Great Lakes: North Coast Chronicles Rocks the Sturgeon

The Lake Sturgeon - ACIPENSER FULVESCENS - also known as the rock sturgeon is the oldest and largest native species in the Great Lakes.  This month, North Coast Chronicles Rocks the Sturgeon to learn about this endangered prehistoric creature!  The alpha and omega of lake sturgeon is shared by two amazing guests:  Dr. Matt Cross, Director of Vertebrate Conservation, with the Toledo Zoo manages a cooperative sturgeon hatching and release program. Ms. Mary Paulson is with Sturgeon for Tomorrow in North Michigan; a guardian program which has successfully halted the  rampant poaching of sturgeon for their valuable eggs during Spring spawning season. Join us to hear from these conservation heroes of the Great Lakes.
