MAKA -- NJ Pine Barrens Collecting

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:54:55 -0000

Having obtained a Scientific Collecting Permit from the State of NJ, I'd like to open this opportunity for collecting up to any members of the MAKA group who might be interested. We will be seeking several native killiefish including the RainWater Killiefish (Lucania parva), Spotfin Killiefish (Fundulus luciae), Banded Killiefish (Fundulus diaphanus), Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) and Starhead Topminnow Fundulus dispar) as well as other fishes (Black-Banded Sunfish, Blue-Spotted Sunfish, etc.) found in the area. With our collections, we will be donating a portion of them to the NJ Meadowlands Environmental Center for educational purposes.<br /><br />The permit is effective as of May 1st, through June 30th, 2008, and the trip will be on a Saturday that's best suited to the majority. As such, a date(s) will be selected determined by which Saturday is most popular with the participants, with a back-up date also selected as a rain date in the event the first date gets washed out. If there's enough interest, we could extend this into two trips. There is only one Saturday on which this trip will not be run (due to a prior-arranged NJAS field trip elsewere), and that is May 17th.<br /><br />If interested, please notify me (at < <a href="mailto:SevenSpringss@wmconnect.com">SevenSpringss@wmconnect.com</a> >) at your earliest convenience as to what dates would best suit you. Details will then be forthcoming for those going. Many thanks, Ray Wetzel (#08273)
