They were sad about the disappearance of a unique form of life so close to home, and wanted to help. So, they formed the Shrimp Club: a student-led group aimed at educating the public, making connections with landowners, and restoring the waterways that these shrimp call home. The Shrimp Club went on to be one of the most successful class projects in the state, raising more than $100,000 over the course of a few years and protecting a large portion of California Freshwater Shrimp habitat! As the project continued to expand, it was picked up by two local non-profit organizations in 1998 and was renamed to STRAW: Students &amp; Teachers Restore a Watershed. STRAW is now run by Point Blue, a conservation research and education non-profit based in Petaluma, California.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1992, Laurette Roger\u2019s 4th grade class learned about the plight of the California Freshwater Shrimp, an endangered species only found in a few sections of stream in Sonoma, Napa,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":9696,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,68],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-9674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conservation","category-goings-on"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.3 (Yoast SEO v26.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Community Shoutout: Point Blue\u2019s STRAW Watershed Week!\u00a0 - Safari West<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/2022\/08\/community-shoutout-point-blues-straw-watershed-week\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Community Shoutout: Point Blue\u2019s STRAW Watershed Week!\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In 1992, Laurette Roger\u2019s 4th grade class learned about the plight of the California Freshwater Shrimp, an endangered species only found in a few sections of stream in Sonoma, Napa,...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/2022\/08\/community-shoutout-point-blues-straw-watershed-week\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Safari West\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-08-30T21:01:48+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-09-22T17:37:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1707\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mark Pressler\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mark Pressler\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/2022\/08\/community-shoutout-point-blues-straw-watershed-week\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/2022\/08\/community-shoutout-point-blues-straw-watershed-week\/\",\"name\":\"Community Shoutout: Point Blue\u2019s STRAW Watershed Week!\u00a0 - Safari West\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/2022\/08\/community-shoutout-point-blues-straw-watershed-week\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/2022\/08\/community-shoutout-point-blues-straw-watershed-week\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-scaled.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-08-30T21:01:48+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-09-22T17:37:31+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/#\/schema\/person\/12b2e81d692cb657a442c3a4b3d467ca\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/2022\/08\/community-shoutout-point-blues-straw-watershed-week\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/2022\/08\/community-shoutout-point-blues-straw-watershed-week\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/2022\/08\/community-shoutout-point-blues-straw-watershed-week\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-scaled.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/safariwest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":2560,\"height\":1707,\"caption\":\"A honey bee hard at work on a coneflower.
