Research Vessel Docks In Clayton

Print This Page

Of all the
visitors headed to the Thousand Islands this summer, there’s one you just can’t
miss in Clayton.

It’s a 180-foot fishing trawler.

The Environmental Protection Agency decked it out and turned it into a
science boat with room for all kinds of researchers on board.

One of the passengers is a fourth grade teacher from Syracuse.

“My kids need to learn how to measure. They need to learn how to do all the
science skills and I figure this is a great way to learn techniques in science,”
said teacher Pattie Burns.

Also on board is an art teacher from Buffalo.

“One of the really great things about this trip has been to see the lake, its
immense beauty,” said John Arnold.

There are 18 other teachers from six states on board.

They’re actually more like students on the Peter Wise Lake Guardian.

They’ve teamed up with federal researchers, who monitor the water in all the
Great Lakes.

This week they’re along for a ride on Lake Ontario.

“They’re actively taking part in the cruise, both to help provide data to the
international field, but also to learn about life on a science ship and actually
doing science in the field,” said lead researcher Dr. Greg Boyer.

The crew will make another stop in Oswego tomorrow.
