Fish are fascinating and so many people have deep connections to them. If you have a fish story to tell, this is a place to share it.
Tracking observations of fish, especially non-commercial species, is more important than ever. With so any eyes on the water, we can use your keen observations and interests to learn more.
FISH WATCHERS lets you share your observation, whether you know what the species of fish is that you observed or not. FISH WATCHERS also provides a database that is easily shareable with other institutions, so we are seeking to replace other platforms.
