Fish Slough School

This week local 4th grade classes came out to Fish Slough for a Hands on the Land program about the area. I helped with the Owens pupfish stations, where the students gathered clues about the fish's ecosystem at each station, including substrate, water quality, other fish, aquatic invertebrates, and emergent vegetation. We asked the students to be detectives attempting to solve the mystery of the disappearing pupfish!
