** Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, we have cancelled our What Lives in the River event in June 2020.**
Twice a year, NRPA hosts What Lives in the River, a hands-on, all-ages introduction to fish, shellfish, crabs and other inhabitants of Narrow River featuring:
~ Seining with experts to catch river creatures,
~ Guided walks along the intertidal zone and salt marsh to observe the inhabitants,
~ River-water tanks and microscopes to examine river creatures and guidebooks to help identify them, and
~ Experts to discuss the importance of estuaries as nurseries for fish & shellfish, the fascinating migration of river herring, and the role of river plants in the food web.
Participants are welcome to get into the water, please dress appropriately.
Please note that there are Clinging Jellyfish in Narrow River. Participants are advised to not touch them. Waders are a great way to be sure to not come in contact with them. Read more about clinging jellies here.
FREE and open to the public. At Middlebridge Marina, 95 Middlebridge Road, Narragansett, RI.
