Fish Filter Frenzy

A decorative dam divides two pools of water. In the “downstream” pool, there will be a group of plastic fishes. Participants must move the good (native) fish past the dam, while keeping the bad (invasive) fish away. Participants will identify native and invasive fish based on a Fish ID guide with pictures. If the participants move enough good fish past the dam within the time limit, and with reasonable accuracy, then they get a prize!
