Dear FreshWater Watch community, within our citizen-science project we normally monitor for MACROplastics, that our volunteers remove from rivers' shores. But, in our research, we study MICROplastics.
Spring has Sprung but the aquifer seems low? Blue wing olive eggs hatched a very Happy Easter renewal
Hi Everyone - We are gradually building up a view of what is happening on our little river, this being Easter I thought I would share with you a different kind of Easter Egg? The site Below curved lock is not only a FreshWater Watch sample site but has been the site of ARMI Riverfly monitoring for water quality using invertebrate species and abundance. It is the site of a translocation of species under IUCN guidelines to replace an indiginous species lost through a pollution incident (Paul's Malt 2011 upstream at Bury St Edmunds).
Guess what… I’m back! I wanted to share a quick blog highlighting what I like to call SUCCESS!
Many of you will be aware that it has been announced that the amazing work undertaken over the last 5 years on the HSBC Water Programme will continue for another 3 years! It makes sense after such a successful framework of relationships has been built which have achieved staggering results.
Opportunities and synergies, Water Quality monitoring in Roman Colchester
Yesterday I was assessed by Ben Fitch (the national coordinator) and passed as an Anglers Riverfly Monitoring Initiative (ARMI) tutor/trainer in presenting the Rivefly Monitoring Initiative in the beautiful grounds of Colchester Castle.
On Sunday Keith Steven, Clare Higson and myself carried out our first Freshwater Watch monitoring on the river Lark in Suffolk. We chose Hengrave as it is easily accessible and it is one of the locations which we are already monitoring through the Anglers Monitoring Initiative (AMI) kick sampling of river invertebrates.
