This week we went back to Brooklyn Bridge Park for another class on seining in the East River. The water was so pretty with soft, rolling waves - perfect for wading in. We seined in the spring and now we wanted to see what we'd find in the fall. The instructors told us different species are there in different seasons. The kids and adults pulled the nets in about a dozen times. Every time, all the kids would run over and try to see anything alive. It was fun. Some of the animals we found were cone jellies, silver something (can't remember the name), blue crabs, and sea squirts.
