Snorkel Surveys were done by Conservation Fisheries Inc. (CFI) to target potentially undiscovered fish populations in GSMNP. In addition, the project includes an inventory of sections of Abrams Creek in 2006.
CFI staff primarily rescue, monitor, propagate and release rare fishes for the purpose of reestablishing decimated populations. This dataset represents an extended, ATBI-oriented, use of their excellent work.
