Benthic macroinvertebrates or “stream bugs” are an essential part of the stream food web and make up a large percentage of a juvenile salmon’s diet. Macroinvertebrates can be used as indicators of stream health, as some species are tolerant of stream pollution and habitat disturbance, while others are very intolerant of disturbances and changes in water quality.

The training will also cover the monitoring protocol used to gather samples and our special guest speaker, will discuss how fishermen replicate the “hatch” when fishing local streams.
