Fish surveys are being conducted to inform knowledge of water quality in a river system. The Friends of the Rouge is involved in this effort, which takes place during the summer. This work reveals that the river is teeming with life.

The surveys are part of a broader look at the natural world. Other topics of interest include ambush bugs and noisy cicadas. A unique toilet at Pictured Rocks is also being featured.

Further details about these topics are available, including information about the river's ecosystem and the various species that inhabit it.
