About the event
What is the Big Wood Aquatic Insect Monitoring Program?
The primary goal of the Big Wood Aquatic Insect Monitoring Program (BWAIMP) is to track the status, trends, and drivers of aquatic insect distributions and declines across the Big Wood River. Monitoring take place at thirteen sites on the Big Wood River. The 10 species were chosen because they are either among the most sensitive, abundant, and ecologically and economically important insects on the River and are indicative of pollution.
- Quantification of densities of 10 target insects
- Summer water temperature
- Sedimentation
- Dewatering levels
