Documenting Diversity – Marine Invasions: Drift Plastic Encrusters

Previous
Next

 
One big problem marine biologists study is the increase and spread of non-native species in marine habitats. An inventory of species that live in an area is needed. Then, scientists must periodically survey to see what new species are found. Later, they must study the area again to see if they have been able to establish themselves.

    RVF's Mission

    The mission of the Rockfish Valley Foundation is to preserve the natural, historical, ecological and agricultural resources of the Rockfish Valley. We accomplish this through enriching the lives of our community by supporting the Rockfish Valley Loop Trail system, Spruce Creek Park and the lands associated with them. The mission furthers supports conservation, recreation, preservation and environmental education and promotes a rural tourism experience in the Rockfish Valley of Nelson County, Virginia.

    We aim to inspire a healthy lifestyle by offering hiking trails, campsites, programs and events. The lands serves as an outdoor laboratory for students, the community and visitors alike.

    Rockfish Valley Foundation is a public foundation recognized under Internal Revenue Code section 501c3 and as such is permitted to receive donations. A copy of the 501(c)3 is available upon request.
