The students at Dedham School had a close call with a didymo look alike. With the help of these citizen scientists, Paul Gregory at the DEP was able to determine that didymo was NOT FOUND in Mill Stream.
Check out the video they made to share their experience.
This is a video about the expanding range and impact of lionfish, an invasive, poisonous, rapidly-reproducing fish in the Florida Keys and Caribbean. The footage follows a team of citizens competing in a tournament to catch lionfish. Tournaments like these are being used in an attempt to control the invasive fish and protect the native marine species that the lionfish are threatening.
Students at Mackworth Island's Friends School in Falmouth team up with resource managers, citizen groups, and fellow students to carry out a Japanese Knotweed Eradication Project.
The video is narrated in fine fashion by Lee Chisholm, Friends School teacher and Vital Signs advisor.
