The dates for the monthly fish count seining on Randall's island, NYC
Info for @zitserm , @steven-cyclist , @djringer , @catverde , and anyone else at all who might be interested.
"World Fish Migration Day
"June 10 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
"The Hudson River Estuary is home to more than 200 species of fish. Join our Natural Areas team as we wade into the river to survey the incredible underwater life along the shores of Randall’s Island. Participants can get up close and personal with some of the species found and watch as the seine nets come to shore and fish are safely handled, identified, and then released back into the river. Staff will enter the river with special nets while participants watch from the natural beach."
Who is planning to come to this Saturday's event starting at 10 am on the Wards Island beach on Randall's Island?
I will be there. Warning -- this one is a public event, so there may be quite a few families and kids as well as the usual RIPA staff.
Note the dates listed for the rest of the seining events later on in the summer and fall.
Susan

Hi Susan,
Yes, like Chris said we will be seining on Saturday, June 10 from 10am-12pm on the beach along the Water's Edge garden. On Monday, June 12th from 12:30pm-2:30pm we will be seining in the Little Hell Gate Salt Marsh.
We have not yet solidified July's seining date, but I will let you know when we do!
Best,

I will try to come, assuming the wildfire haze isn't too terrible
then.
Yes, I hope the air might be improving by then.
i plan to go
smoked fish are delicious
I will be going. The air quality seems much better today and hopefully will be better still tomorrow morning.
The air seems quite clear this morning. I will be leaving home shortly. If anyone is not certain exactly where to meet up, text me.
The little Ward's Island beach is two or three hundred yards north of the turquoise 103rd street footbridge which goes over the Harlem River from East Harlem.
It went quite well. the seining produced the usual species as well as three northern pipefish, one Atlantic tomcod, and one skilletfish. Both of the latter were new to me.
I think Misha and Steven had a good time.
