Lightning Talks: Salmon

Join us to learn more about the iconic anadromous fish of the Pacific Northwest! (Wait, what’s that? Anadromous fish, like salmon, are born in freshwater, migrate to the open ocean and return to freshwater to spawn).

During this installment of our Lightning Talks series, five speakers will have five minutes each to wow you with one big—and fascinating—idea about salmon. Don’t miss the evening’s lively talks and great conversations, including opportunities for Q&A with our experts!

Your support keeps programs like these free to all. Donate to the Seattle Aquarium today!
