You’ve Done Such Great Work!
Thank you to everyone for participating in this project. We hope it was filled with education, opportunity to get outside and explore, and most importantly...FUN!

Thanks again to everybody for all of your participation in this project. Knowledge of what species are present on our shorelines is a great way to keep an eye on the health of our ecosystem. While this Summer’s project is coming to a close, your observations don’t have to. Continue to get out, observe, and identify whatever you see...you never know what you might find!
