About FISH
First Investigation of Stream Health is a citizen science based protocol that provides you with the opportunity to track and document the fascinating changes in wildlife and vegetation along your stream while also providing Penn State Extension with valuable information about the benefits of streamside restoration projects.
To get started, tell Penn State Extension you are interested in monitoring a stream by filling out a short survey. You will then receive instructions on how to access to FISH through Water Reporter.
