Bob Muller, Naturalist and Aquatic Researcher
Bob Muller, Program Director of the Royal Oak Nature Society, has been sampling fish in the Rouge River Watershed for over a decade under permits issued by the Michigan DNR. He is a lifetime researcher of aquatic life, a naturalist, a nationally renowned fish photographer, educator, and he has traveled as far as the Amazon basin to study fish species. His biggest contributions are right here in Michigan with his discovery of two species of fishes not recorded previously in Michigan—the Mummichug and the Dusky Darter. He has also published a book - The Fish Community of the Rouge River Watershed, which focuses both on the biological and cultural history of the Rouge. Bob will tell us what can be found in our local watershed, as well as what contaminants are present in our fish populations. He will also try to bring some live examples of our watershed’s most beautiful residents for you to meet. Generously sponsored by American House Stone.
