I gave back the test and went over the solutions.  We are now into the third unit...Ecology of the Miramichi Watershed with a Focus on the Atlantic Salmon!  Gave an intro. lesson on the species and watched some videos - check them out!  During IS we had Mark Hambrook from MSA give a presentation on their organization and their field studies.  I have included his presentation and you can also find it under 'documents' for your reference.  Many thanks to Mark and we look forward to being a part of the Kelt study on May 6th.
