Cumberland River Aquatic Center Featured on WildCast
A trip to the Cumberland River Aquatic Center (CRAC) in Gallatin features a couple of WildCast episodes this month. In one episode, the crew meets with TWRA Senior Scientist, Dan Hua, and Mussel Conservation Coordinator, Jason Wisniewski. They dive into the life of freshwater mussels, how they reproduce, their diversity, and why they are so important to ecosystems of streams and rivers.
TWRA veteran David Sims talked to the crew about the Cumberland River Aquatic Center. David, TWRA personnel, and many partners played a huge role in the transformation of this facility and what it has become today.
Region IV Streams and Rivers Biologist Sally Petre "brings the creek" to the crew in an episode. Learn about some of the smaller fish of Tennessee that you may never see. Always have a fun conversation with Sally, her excitement for the biodiversity of our state is infectious.
Learn about the Tennessee Angler Recognition Program, aka TARP. The crew meets Andrew Paducah, the first person to reach TARP Level V. He will share some big fish stories from his adventures to reach this milestone. Sally also appears in the episode.
