GVSU stream research project connects high school students to larger Shedd Aquarium study
Prof. Amanda Buday and Ravenna High School students have been testing for the presence and behavior of suckers in Crockery Creek, which is a tributary for the Grand River as it nears the end of its journey to Lake Michigan. The sucker monitoring is part of a larger study with ties to John Ball Zoo and the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.
The project's goal is to collect community-owned stream science data that over a long period of time will help track what is happening with this creek that has been significant to generations of residents, especially recreationally.
