Wrapped up the 2023 field season today by pulling Jim Buoy out of Octoraro Reservoir where it’s been collecting data continuously since May in support of our harmful algal bloom research. Another one in the books ✔️✔️ @SRBCnews
We know the eel biomass but how much eel DNA will that equate to? @ichthyoAaron took the sample today to find out. Stay tuned. @SRBCnews
'Creek squad' wrapped up field season on Conodoguinet Ck with 221 ! 🤯 eels in 380m. Most I've seen in basin at 1 site. Sacrificed a few age classes for PCB and microplastics - diet results TBD but I have some guesses @aquaecoLu @SRBCnews

SR1 crew wrapped up #NRSA for 2023 this week. Chilly damp fall days for sites 15 and 16 for the year but SR1 always gets it done. @SRBCnews @ichthyoAaron

Efforts are underway to prevent the Chesapeake logperch, found only in southeastern Pennsylvania and Maryland, from becoming a federally endangered species. Learn more: bit.ly/454cPP2
Look at that species list! It was definitely a great day for the SR1 crew! @SRBCnews
SR1 hit the Allegheny River in @NYSDEC territory to complete @EPA NRSA site 7 for @SRBCnews. @aquaecoLu draws it up we execute- 45+ spp. had me in rare form 😁. What a day lampreys, trout-perch, multiple T&Es, probably won't sleep tonight

We're back! SR1 on the road again to KO sites for @EPA #NRSA - 29 more over the next 2 years. 1st up 'The Outlet' headwaters mixed brook/brown trout headwater stream in Sullivan Co. PA, cold, forested, familiar the way we like it. Just getting started with @aquaecoLu @SRBCnews
Day 1 of @SRBCnews 2023 Lower Susquehanna invasive fish species #eDNA sampling. Looking 👀 for the DNA 🧬 of northern snakehead and blue catfish in water samples. @ichthyoAaron

#NRSA only comes around every 5 years so training refreshers every time are important. At Cacapon State Park this week - 4th time around for me and 3rd time around for @ichthyoAaron #justlikeridingabike @SRBCnews
Another great presentation from @SRBCnews staff at the National Monitoring Conference. Showing off some of our awesome new web based tools to visualize large data sets!

For our creek critters, salty streams are a toxic brew. But road salts also pollute nearby soils, kill trees and plants important for wildlife, corrode bridges, and pollute drinking water supplies.
