Did you know that Alabama ranks <strong>number one <\/strong>among all 50 states in the number of freshwater fish species (332 species, over a quarter of all of the freshwater fish species found in the United States), and <strong>number one<\/strong> in the number of crayfish, mussels, freshwater snails and freshwater turtles!\u00a0We have species that rival the tropical fishes in their rainbow of colors and beauty.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->If you did not know these impressive facts about Alabama&#8217;s natural heritage, you need our infographic, available digitally at: <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.auburn.edu\/aww\/aww-infographic-2-0\/\">wp.auburn.edu\/aww\/awwsome-infographic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>AWW believes that every child, and every adult, should not only know these wonderful facts, but should be proud of our state\u2019s bountiful biodiversity. Better yet, folks should get involved in preserving and promoting this premiere biological treasure that we\u2019ve been blessed with. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve included an invitation on the infographic to contact AWW and join our watershed stewardship team.<\/p>\n<p>To this end, AWW joined forces with the good folks at the Alabama Department of Transportation\u2019s Maintenance Bureau to spread the word. Spearheaded by Mr. Jim Bearrentine, ALDOT Assistant State Maintenance Engineer, the AWW infographic has been distributed to AL DOT welcome centers and rest areas throughout the state. Through this effort, we hope to reach thousands of Alabamians and visitors, and educate them on <em>America\u2019s Amazon \u2013 Alabama the Beautiful<\/em>!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2106\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2106\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2106\" src=\"https:\/\/aaes.auburn.edu\/wrc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/04\/PuneetInfographic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aaes.auburn.edu\/wrc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/04\/PuneetInfographic.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aaes.auburn.edu\/wrc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/04\/PuneetInfographic-251x300.jpg 251w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2106\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">AU Water Resources Director, Dr. Srivastava, encountering our infographic at the AL DOT rest stop on I-65 at Clanton.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last summer, through the creative work of Information Technology Specialist, Jennie Powers (College of Business\/College of Agriculture), Alabama Water Watch (AWW) developed an infographic poster depicting Alabama\u2019s world-class aquatic biodiversity.
