RMS Grade 8 students had an excellent research day at Millbrook
Park on Tuesday, June 4, 2013. Seven NOAA scientists interacted with the
kids, collecting 20 stations worth of data. We are in our 5th year
collecting longitudinal data. This is the first year with the new
dam. Ms. Swanberg spent the day directing the waterfall data collection, Mr. Richards conducted Mill Pond historical tours while Ms. Merry supervised
the seine nets, crab count and elver dig at the Front Beach drain pipe.
The Rockport Garden Club was grateful for our
community service project, removing invasive plants from the stream. The
eels were out and students made us proud with their
excellent behavior and effort.
