How Wild Presents: Beyond the Shore

About this episode

This episode explores the migration of the American eel from Lake Ontario to the Bermuda Triangle.

Did you know some eels migrate from Lake Ontario all the way to the Bermuda Triangle in the Atlantic Ocean? How wild is that?! Here’s a story from Beyond the Shore, made by our friends at Michigan Public. Just like How Wild, this podcast takes you outdoors to explore the huge inland seas known as the Great Lakes, what makes them so special, and what it will take to ensure they stay great for generations to come. This episode takes us on a road trip following the long and amazing journey of the American eel from Lake Ontario to spawn. Both How Wild and Beyond the Shore are proud to be part of the American Storytelling Collection.
