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

#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

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.
