Year 3 has begun!!

We had great turnout for our East Chicago Net Pen Project prep meeting yesterday afternoon. We made quick work adding the netting to the cages. We also went over procedures for feeding and caring for the fish as well as the reporting process.

🙏 We would like to thank all the volunteers that came out yesterday and also everyone that signed up to help feed the fish when the come.

Plan is to drop the Net Pens in the water on Monday 4/20. We will be meeting at the club at 8:30am to load the pens up and head to the marina.

We could always use an extra hand!!
