San Felipe Creek Project

Combining Art and Science to Educate and Celebrate

The San Felipe Creek Project will address the problem of “invader” species in the

San Felipe Creek. The San Felipe Minnow is endangered and being taken over by the Plecostomas hipostomas or armored catfish, typically seen in fish tanks cleaning the tank.

Students will investigate the loss of the native fish population, the loss of habitat, and destruction of food sources with local research biologists and create a variety of artistic expressions to demonstrate their findings. The children will obtain a sense of environmental stewardship and ecological awareness.
