I read this story in the North Carolina Sportsman's Magazine email newsletter. I recommend reading this article. I am proud of these young folks for taking an interest in our fishery.
School goes to bat for flounders
By Jerry Dilsaver
Everyone probably has his own definition of a project that has “come a long way.” Here’s an example that definitely fits:
On Nov. 9, 2006, the students of a high school aquaculture class that 20 years ago raised bass and catfish in a flooded ditch at school property became the first group to release hatchery-raised southern flounders into North Carolina waters and the second group to release flounders into U.S. waters.
The aquaculture class at South Brunswick High School, located near Boiling Springs Lakes, has been an exceptional group since its humble beginnings. Students have led the way in a number of local fish-stocking endeavors and research projects.
Click on the link below to read the complete story. This teacher and his students are really concerned with their environment. It’s a good read and worth your time.
