Description

This Springs Field Guide is a great tool for both beginning and experienced springs naturalists. It was designed to train citizen science volunteers to identify fish species for the Florida SpringsWatch program. It focuses on fish that you can see in Florida’s springs – from the big charismatic gar down to the small, overlooked, but strikingly beautiful sailfin mollies – providing tips and tricks for identifying fish in their natural habitat. Our Springs Field Guide is waterproof and tear resistant so it’s ready to go wherever you go. After getting to know your springs fish using this guide, be sure to visit our online fish field guide to find more species and more detailed information. There you’ll find short videos of each fish in their natural habitat. We show you the way they look, move, and behave underwater, and exactly what to look for to identify them and differentiate them from similar species.
