Twenty-seven classes from 15 schools in the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District attended the two-day event on the Anchor River and Bear Creek.
” program, which teaches Kenai Peninsula students about salmon biology in their classrooms throughout the school year. Gates said when students take the fertilized coho salmon eggs back to their classrooms, they’ll incubate them and watch them develop through a number of different life-cycle stages until they become adolescent fish, or fry. In the spring, they’ll release the fish back into Bear Creek or into a stocked, landlocked lake.
For Lucas Stumpf, a fisheries biologist who heads the Kenai Peninsula education program, this work is personal.He grew up in Palmer and said he can trace his love of biology back to when he was a student in a similar program.
