Did you know that dragonflies and damselflies start their life underwater? Benthic invertebrates include aquatic insects, worms, molluscs, and crustaceans that live at the bottom of a waterbody for a portion of their life cycle. They are good indicators of water quality and habitat health. The species you find can tell you a lot about potential stressors a water body might be facing. Come out for a hands-on exploration of benthic invertebrates with aquatic biologist Erin Carroll and aquatic biology assistant Dave Johnson to discover more about these fascinating organisms. As an added bonus, participants will be treated to an electro-fishing demonstration.

Registration is required. Event may be subject to change or postponement due to unforeseen circumstances. Additional information will be provided at time of registration
