Not all the ninth-graders who arrive at Baytown Nature Center for the Back to the Bay program are happy about being outdoors. It can be too hot or too cold. And sometimes insects are an extra bother.
But all the students seem to enjoy catching something with cast nets during Aquatic Organism Collection.
Today's biggest catch was mullet.
With the seine net, students in waders hauled in grass shrimp, a small flounder and more comb jelly.
