About the Course
In this course we discuss the diversity of insects that we can use to assess water quality here in the Williamsburg, Virginia, area. We learn how to perform surveys, metrics that can be used for calculations, and pollution tolerance of common species.
This course does not have a workshop/field component at this time, as there has not been any expressed interest as of yet, but if that would be of interest to you, please let us know!
