Riverbend Park is closing July with Wetland Dipnetting, an in-depth learning experience diving into the world of wetlands. Participants learn from a naturalist about different kinds of wetlands and experience dipnetting while searching for aquatic organisms to study, then release.

 

A dip net, used for fishing, consists of a bag made from materials that enable scooping up aquatic life while releasing water through the net. A dip net is different from other fishing tools because of the distinct long handle attached to the net.




 

Dipnetting is quite different from fishing with a line and hook. In bait fishing, fishers can hook and reel in a single fish. Dipnetting enables fishers to catch multiple organisms in one sweep.

 

The program is by reservation only. Register at pbcparks.com.
