The Coastal Waters Monitoring Program is wrapping up the 2021 field season with their busiest year yet!  In 2021, the crew kicked off their field season with the addition of larval fish sampling. A substantial amount of temperature monitoring sites were introduced and water quality sampling was also enhanced.  The crew managed to maintain their regular field season of nearshore fish community assessment through setting fyke and seine nets.
