Bennett AP Environmental Science Students Invasive Fishing Field Trip

Students from James M. Bennett High School’s AP Environmental Science class in Salisbury are going fishing for invasive species on Friday! They’ll be partnering with Maryland Natural Resources and Salisbury University for a few hours of ‘invasive fishing’ of the Blue Catfish on the Nanticoke River at the Cherry Beach Pavilion in Sharptown.

The Nanticoke has been a hotspot for this invasive species that is threatening native fish and wildlife resources. Blue catfish are considered voracious predators and because of their large size, have few natural predators.
