Can you find the salmon hidden in the gravel below? (p5)
When salmon are first born, they’re called alevin and carry their food under their belly in a yolk sac. They are the perfect color to camouflage into gravel to avoid being eaten by birds, fish, and other predators.
Help Super Salmon clean up the watershed. Can you find the trash? (p12)

She and the campers need your help to clean up the trash and make the river and the watershed safe for other fish and wildlife.
