Our seventh grade SAV season began today with a visit from Ms. Deck's class from Plum Point Middle School.  Although our target was submerged aquatic vegetation, wildlife sightings are also a part of the data that is gathered by our students.

The sighting of a red-bellied turtle basking near SAV survey marker #2 and that of a green treefrog near the fishing pier are also valuable records for the MARA survey.  These animals both came from the Lower Marlboro, SE block.
