here is nothing better than hearing youth engaged in a scientific debate 鈥� a debate over the best way to identify grass shrimp from sand shrimp for example. 聽In July, Fish-WIKS Atlantic region team members,聽Shelley Denny, Tyson Paul, Stephanie Boudreau, and聽Amber Giles, had the pleasure of partnering with SuperNOVA for an afternoon of such debates and some hands-on science. Along the shore of the beautiful Bras D鈥檕r Lakes in the聽 Fish-WIKS partner community of Eskasoni, with science campers from Eskasoni and community members, a beach seine was used to collect various organisms. Science campers were given identification cards and set free to explore and identify small fish and invertebrates.

Science camper uses an underwater viewer to search the shallow waters of the Bras D鈥檕r for fish.

It was an amazing opportunity to discuss themes of the Fish-WIKS research with youth, such as 鈥淗ow do you know what you know?鈥�. We started our time with the youth by going around a circle and inviting each camper to share a story about a time they had been fishing. Some of the campers were too shy, some spoke a few words, and some shared long elaborate (possibly embellished) stories of the time they caught a giant fish. It was fantastic to hear their enthusiasm about fish and the environment, as well as their curiosity.Thank you to the community of Eskasoni for hosting us, as well as to聽听补苍诲听聽for helping to coordinate.
