Overview
Classroom Aquarium Education Program (CAEP), is a science program for grades K-12. Through hatching and raising trout and other related hands-on classroom activities, students gain a direct understanding of the importance of aquatic environments, the delicate balance required to sustain California’s fisheries and aquatic habitats, the diversity present in their community and the impact their individual actions can have on these vital resources.
