Invertebrate and Fish Sampling at the Created Marsh

Eleven taxanomic groups of macro-invertebrates (46 individuals) were found in and near the created marsh area including Dragonfly larvae, Fingernail Clams and Mussels, a variety of aquatic worms, several Glass/Grass Shrimp, and also one Black Rat Snake (not an invertebrate, but still neat...). This number of Taxa reflects a good diversity for the first season of a newly created marsh with additional diversity expected in the future. Additionally, six species of fish were identified to be using the newly created marsh area.
