Workshop Description:
2-Day lecture/field experience
This hands-on workshop is designed to improve the ability of field staff to identify local species of fish, and to use the resulting data for assessment of waterway health. Participants will learn to identify species commonly encountered in this region, practice using various sampling gear and techniques, and determine best approaches to analyzing the data. Day 2 of class will be spent in the field collecting and identifying fish in a local waterway.
Lunch is provided for the Day 1. Please pack a lunch for the field day.
Format: 
April 24th (day one), will be held at the ELC, and includes a sampling gear overview and prep for the next day. Day two is a full-day field trip to a PGE facility and/or juvenile salmon screw trap. In the afternoon we will head to an off-site location to practice collection & identification using electroshocking and/or seining (for warm water species). Specific locations will be determined closer to the workshop date.
