Habitat Sense
Students play the role of fish in search of food, water, shelter, and space.
Habitat Sense is the analysis of a stream reach’s physical qualities. You will assist students in surveying a pool, riffle, or glide, and looking at dimensions, substrate, woody material, fish cover, and other factors that determine how the site might be used by aquatic life.
