Citizens United To Protect The Maurice River - Fish Surveys / 10-14 and 10-15-26
Get hands-on with vital research and restoration initiatives. Join CU Maurice River's volunteer community science team on the river to have a direct impact on aquatic habitat health!The fish surveys evaluate fish population responses to habitat restoration by focusing on minnow assemblages. On day one, 24 minnow traps are deployed and volunteers document water-quality parameters throughout the survey area. On day two, traps are retrieved to tally the total catch. Both monitoring days require a kayak or canoe to access the sites.
These community science surveys are part of a larger wetland restoration project on the Wild & Scenic Manumuskin River, funded by Restore America's Estuaries. As part of this effort, volunteers are helping document how the habitat responds to restoration through photo point monitoring, avian surveys, fish monitoring, and other ecological assessments.
