CADDO LAKE PADDLEFISH

The Paddlefish Project is an innovative science enrichment program that connects schools with scientists conducting special studies related to the reintroduction of the American Paddlefish, Polyodon spathula, to Big Cypress Bayou and Caddo Lake in East Texas.

The Paddlefish Project serves as a model for improving communities and benefitting the environment by providing elementary, secondary, and postsecondary students, teachers, professors, volunteers, and community participants with scientific processes and critical thinking skills for informed decision-making to preserve the environment and surrounding habitat.

Paddlefish Reintroduction Education Initiative

The Collins Academy hosts day camps, educational events for students, professional development workshops and other activities with the Paddlefish Project as their focus.
