Team Crayfish

We’re a group of students who are working together to remove the invasive Red Swamp Crayfish from the Medea Creek watershed in Oak Park, California.

@EarthEcho @bednarcik308 @sd308 @WPS_Lakers Thank you for having us and giving the space to share our work on invasive crayfish removal. We couldn’t have done this work without your support!

My article came out today on the work I’ve been doing with the @teamcrayfish and Friends of Oak Park Open Space partnership and trapping efforts.

@DennertPark @RSRPD_rec Absolutely! We’ll be posting our donation letter shortly, and Debbie Sharpton will be collecting them for us.

[Team Crayfish @TeamCrayfish]

Thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with the @RSRPD_rec board to present our work on #invasive #crayfish removal from the Medea Creek. Partnerships like these will take our project to the next level. Thank you @DennertPark!

[Team Crayfish @TeamCrayfish]

Thanks for the love @EarthEcho. We’re excited for all of the new developments we’ve got on deck for this year too!

[EarthEcho Int'l @EarthEcho]

2020 #OurEchoChallenge winning Team Crayfish from #MedeaCreekMiddleSchool and @oakparkusd has experienced a 250% increase in number of crayfish captured, due to the team utilizing a new trap design. We love to see such "cray"-z improvements! Give it up for Team Crayfish.

@JayGreenlinger @oakparkusd @MCMS_Panthers @wilskerscience @EarthEcho Thank you for your constant support @JayGreenlinger! We’re excited to be creating more partnerships to move our project forward!

[Team Crayfish @TeamCrayfish]

@DennertPark @oakparkusd @RSRPD_rec Thanks for giving us the opportunity to speak and for supporting our project. We are looking forward to working with you all to make progress on getting as many crayfish out as we can!

[Team Crayfish @TeamCrayfish]

A huge congratulations to our food web design challenge winner! Medea Creek Middle School 6th grader Eve Zhong created this fantastic food web for us.

Fun day of setting our summer traps with the Crayfish Club. We caught 14 with our grabbers too. Here’s to hoping the crayfish climbing on the traps actually go in!

#ICYMI These amazing young scientists were the first competitors in the OurEcho Challenge, a #STEM competition for middle school students. Now, more than ever, we need to empower a new generation to solve the critical environmental problems we face. We are proud to lead the way.
