Freshwater Biodiversity of the Tennessee River
February 1, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Land Trust of North Alabama is pleased to present a talk from Dr. Bernie Kuhajda of the Tennessee Aquarium. The Southeast has amazing aquatic biodiversity, with the Tennessee River system as the best of the best. We have an underwater rain forest right in our backyard! Many factors contribute to this global biodiversity hotspot, including diverse geology and the prehistoric rivers that existed before the Ice Age. The Tennessee Aquarium is protecting and restoring aquatic habitats and the critters that live, working in large river down to headwater streams as well as spring and caves. Please join us as Dr. Kuhajda explains more about what makes the Tennessee River system unique among ecosystems.
