There aren't words to express how much we love edu There aren't words to express how much we love educators. They are the very best. Here's to the teachers out there fighting the good fights, taking kids outside and bringing the outside in, bringing light into the darkness, and making a difference.

School of Rockfish week is finally here! Striped b School of Rockfish week is finally here! Striped bass adults spawned last Wednesday night, eggs were collected and hatched last Friday, fry (newly hatched juvenile fish) were delivered to schools across the state on Monday (4/27), baby Rockfish started eating their first meals of brine shrimp today (4/29), and some schools will start releasing fry back into the Tar river on Friday (5/1)! Project RESTORE (Rescuing Endangered Species Through Outreach Restoration and Education) School of Rockfish Program could not happen without the tireless efforts of our various partners @naturalsciences @nc.dncr @usfws @ncwildlife @albemarlepamliconep @triangleflyfishers @americanfisheries @ncmefoundation @nfwf, all our dedicated teachers and students, and countless volunteers. #learninghappenshere #conservationinaction #schoolofrockfish

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Waterdog It's the most wonderful time of the year! Waterdog breeding season! Educators on yesterday's @naturalsciences Waterdog Warriors educator trek got to help collect data on 23 (!!!) federally and NC state threatened Neuse River waterdogs. These large, fully aquatic salamanders are endemic to NC and are only found in the Neuse and Tar river basins. One of the biggest threats to their population is habitat degradation due to development (e.g. sedimentation). You can help bring attention to this threatened species by celebrating their awesomeness this time of year and working to protect our local streams and rivers. All field work was conducted with scientists and appropriate permits from @ncwildlife and @usfws #waterdogwarriors
