Fish and Invertebrate Study of Harbors (FISH)

Various dates, June-August
Half and Full day sessions available
Capacity: 4 students per session

Join Harbor Watch staff on our research vessel to assess the abundance of fish and crustaceans living in Norwalk Harbor and Saugatuck Harbor. Each session, groups of 4 students join Harbor Watch staff on board our research vessel to collect species richness and abundance data. Students serve as crew and are responsible for releasing the trawl net, sorting and identifying the catch, and recording the data. Students who participate regularly may be invited to share their experience and findings at the Harbor Watch Water Quality Symposium.
