Stream Team had a great
summer conducting
macroinvertebrate sampling!
Pictured here are Trish
Willebrand and Cindy Hackett
collecting macroinvertebrates
in Rocky Creek on the Key
Peninsula.
STREAM TEAM is a volunteer water quality
monitoring program operating in Pierce County since
1994. Monitors measure pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrates,
turbidity, water temperature, flow and record habitat
observations on prioritized sites.
Goals include:
- Watershed education
- Involve the community in citizen science monitoring
- Increase available water quality data
- Identify areas of concern
