Fish

Last week we spent an afternoon at the RBG Fishway Program. Although the weather wasn't the greatest, the kids loved it and learned a lot about the program. The point of the Fishway is to restore the marsh by removing the non-native carp. They explained how this is done and how they monitor it. We saw how they catch the fish and count the different kinds coming through. They scan the ones that have been tagged before and tag some of the new ones coming through for the first time. They also weigh and measure them and take some scale samples. And then they release them back into the water. All the kids loved being there but especially Austin who loves everything related to fish.
