Overall, it was really awesome to see how many people got excited about science and wanted to help out. Here are some...

Among the fish who stay briefly in the estuary the shiner perch has shown up in the thousands, along the main estuary a typical seine will net several dozen. The shiner perch prefer warm temperatures (14C) and very shallow water for breeding. An interesting fact about shiner perch is...
