The SeaDoc Society & YMCA Camp Orkila Present “Chasing the Silver Sea of Fish: Herring and Human Communities” on Tuesday, March 8, 7 p.m. Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Orcas.

Eleni Petrou of the University of Washington will speak on March 8 on the past and present relationships between herring and human communities in the Salish Sea.

Scientists have discovered that herring communicate at night by passing air stored in their swim bladders through their anus – that’s right: communication by farting.
