Today, the underwater viewing pond became enchanted. Artist Hope Christofferson created the clay castle that now rests at the bottom of the pond, with the hope of seeing how aquatic organisms such as algae, aquatic insects, and fish utilize and interact with a novel object in their environment. Details about the collaboration between the D.C Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery and Hope will be on display in the upcoming days. Hope Christofferson
