So you’ve collected a sample of small aquatic bugs, now what?
In this recent video, the @stream_CBG shows the journey of a sample collected in the field to the lab. Get a behind-the-scenes scope on how these bugs help understand stream and river health. ow.ly/IK8H50OoBgi
We’re processing samples shipped from @KawarthaConserv today! Anyone up for a bug smoothie? @M_Hajibabaei 🐛🧬👀
STREAM has collected & processed over 1,500 benthic samples from community groups across Canada! THANK YOU to the 70+ groups that send us samples 💙#CitizenScience
