Original goal was to provide UG students with field work experience but data generated to date are likely of interest to managers and researchers interested in community ecology/dynamics in this drainage. Data from previous years available. SGCN encountered throughout drainage; course resulted in discovery of American eel population on Coleto creek in 2016; monitoring invasion of Lucania goodei in lower Guadalupe since 2015.
