| Description: | This page provides an overview of Ohio s program which enlists volunteers in the collection of water sampling data. Following a free, short workshop, individuals and groups are given easy-to-use equipment and assigned to one or more stream stations. Volunteers, working in teams of two or more, examine small, riffle areas of stream bottoms and use fine mesh nets, called seines, to collect macroinvertebrates. Volunteers are taught how to identify these tiny organisms and record their findings. A link is provided if you need information on how to start a similar program in your area. |
