JAXPORT assistance keeps fish alive for young scientists during Matthew

Young coastal scientists and instructors at Mayport Elementary School’s Coastal Sciences Academy could breathe easier during Hurricane Matthew knowing that a JAXPORT-sponsored power generator was keeping the filtration system going on the fish tank holding their small Rainbow Trout.
Fifth grade students at Mayport Elementary spend the school year learning about the St. Johns River and its wildlife in the JAXPORT-sponsored Aquaculture ‘Labitat. Much of the time is spent nurturing the thousands of small fry trout until the fish are ready to be released into the river.
