Survey of Toccoa River seeks endangered fish
Scientists with the state Department of Natural Resources are wrapping up a hands-on survey in which they literally stick their heads in the cold depths of the Toccoa River looking for rare fish. They're snorkeling, and have spent the summer surveying nearly 40 miles of clear, fast-moving water.
