The days have been getting shorter and the nights colder, but our aquatic reserves staff members are hard at work, ensuring your local reserve is getting loved just as much as when the days are long and the nights are warm. This fall, the Puget SoundCorps Team has performed water quality analysis at Lake Kapowsin and gone to Cherry Point, Cypress Island, Protection Island, Maury Island, and Nisqually Reach Aquatic Reserve to conduct seagrass monitoring surveys. In their free time, the team has gone to Lake Kapowsin not once, not twice, but three times to work on restoring a hill side habitat overlooking the north part of the lake. These days have been filled with invasive species removal, planting native plants, maintaining trails, and laughter.
Best,
The Aquatic Reserves Program
