Waterwatch Waterbug community sampling

Join the Merri Creek Management Committee Waterwatch Coordinators on the Merri Creek in Coburg to collect data on waterbug diversity for City of Merri-bek project priorities. The session will cover sampling and collecting of live aquatic macroinvertebrates, and identifying live macroinvertebrates to family level in order to determine the water quality of the Merri creek. The data will also be loaded onto the Citizen Science National Waterbug Blitz app and website. Lunch is provided. Some previous experience with macroinvertebrate identification is ideal.
