Seine Selfie!

This photo shows a group of enthusiastic Stamford Public School 6th graders on a field visit to Cove Island Park this past Fall season.  The students decided this would be a great moment to take a ‘selfie’ along the path to go fishing.  During this part of the visit, these young scientists put on waterproof gear and catch juvenile species of Long Island Sound with seine nets.  This is a great hands on way to introduce the ideas of species diversity and abundance.
