Participants will enter into Turtle Creek and Goose Creek to perform macroinvertebrate study and water quality tests. Participants should be prepared to enter into the rivers to catch and identify fish, shellfish, larva and other small creatures. (bring a backpack: old shoes for use in the water, a change of clothes, a towel, a plastic bag for wet and dirty items.) <- I will inform participants in an email They will also perform onsite chemistry to check for phosphates, nitrates, dissolved oxygen, and the water way’s pH value.

Students will come away with an understanding of how water quality limits the kind of life found in rivers.
