Please join us Wednesday evening, August 19, 2026, at 7PM at the Riverside Sportsman's Association of Rhode Island (19 Mohawk Drive, Riverside RI) for this month's Tropical Fish Society of Rhode Island meeting. All are welcome and our meetings are free to join for children and adults alike.
Speaker: Carol "Krill" Carson
This month, we'll be joined by marine biologist and president of the New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance (NECWA) Carol "Krill' Carson. Carol will be discussing "Autumn Strandings in New England Waters"—one of the main activities NECWA is involved with each year. As a rescue non-profit, NECWA oversees rescues for terrapins and ocean sunfish, plus a variety of other species, that strand each fall and early winter in the communities around Buzzards Bay and along the shores of Cape Cod.
Meeting Activities
In addition to a speaker each month, we also have our regular activities, including:
🐟 Bring any fish or plants you'd like to submit for the BAP (Breeder Awards Program) or HAP (Horticultural Awards Program) for auction.
💵 Bring up to 3 lots for a "Buck-a-Bag" auction; if you're planning to bid on items, please be sure to bring cash!
📣 We plan to have refreshments, a raffle and a short meeting to review club activities and updates.
The address of our Wednesday evening meeting is:
19 Mohawk Drive
Riverside, Rhode Island.
Mohawk Drive is directly off of Rt 114, the Wampanoag Trail in Riverside. Route 114 is a divided road at the entrance to Mohawk Road. If you're coming from the North, you need to go past the Club to the next turnaround (on the left just past the "Welcome to Barrington" Sign). After you turn around, Mohawk Road will be on your right a short distance past the "Anchor Bay Assisted Living" sign. There's a blue and white sign at the entry of Mohawk Road for the Riverside Sportsman’s Association. The building is at the end of the very bumpy road—low riders take care!
