287 - South Carolina's diadromous fishes with Ellen Waldrop

The Fisheries Podcast

This week, Preston chats with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources' Ellen Waldrop. They cover Ellen's journey from ponds in New Jersey to her current role in Charleston, SC, with stops in the Seychelles and Hawaii along the way. They take a deep dive into the diadromous fishes of South Carolina, and the numerous methods SCDNR employs to monitor the status of those populations. They wrap up by hearing from Ellen about her recent recognition as SCDNR's Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division's employee of the year for 2023. We hope that you enjoy this episode!

Main point: "Do the right thing and share your knowledge with those around you."
