We had a
busy April, with an event almost every weekend.
Six NANFAs helped with the Reinhardt University
Bioblitz capturing and
sharing fishes with the students as part of a larger event put on by
Dr. Zach
Felix. Next, we had
a stream side
display tank and helped with the Rivers Alive trash pickup on the
Apalachee
River. And we ended
the month with
another trash pickup on John’s Creek which has provided us with some
future
opportunities for outreach. Later
in the
summer, a group of us went snorkeling the Etowah River, near the site
of the
first American gold rush. We
found
mineral gold and the Bronze Darter along with the endemic and protected
Etowah
Darter, both at their type localities.
More has happened already in July and planned for
August, but that can
wait for our next report. |
