Eric Grossman: The children are getting to know their
environment. They have appreciation for it.
They look for the animals. In fact along the way their
singing and playing games like "I spy a certain animal"
and all the kids on the canoe end up looking for the
same animal that the one called out.

It will be interesting to see how this information
can be used by those folks and the children especially
to engage them in better understanding some of the
water quality issues and their environmental problems
for the future and hopefully they will be able to
use it to develop better management practices.
We hope to help them.

Brian Cladoosby: I think the kids, just being here to
be able to witness, seeing the probes and hopefully
when we get back, to be able to show them exactly
what they were able to do.
And to explain to them in layman's terms what this means,
what that means, is going to be cool.
And to let them know that they were the genesis of this.
