August is National Water Quality Month!

Healthy waterways are essential to our communities, ecosystems, and the life that depends on them. Protecting our lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and coastal waters starts with understanding what’s happening in them.

Thank you to all our partners and everyone who monitors our water! Your efforts identify changes and support informed decision making to protect one of our most vital resources.

Together we work to keep our waters healthy!

We hope you’re staying cool out there in the field today! 💦

Don’t forget to drink lots of water, take breaks, and cool off when you can — especially if that means making a splash!

AWN is happy to support SHAD Dalhousie participants with our equipment bank this week during a hands-on water ecology session focused on local freshwater monitoring. Ten of the 53 SHAD Dalhousie participants joined the session, where they learned how to assess water quality, use D-nets for kick-and-sweep sampling, operate a YSI meter, and identify benthic macroinvertebrates to group level. 🦟🐌

Participants put their new skills into practice by sampling the stream that feeds Kearney Lake - building real-world science experience while exploring how healthy aquatic ecosystems are monitored and protected. 🌊

Thank you to SHAD Dalhousie for including AWN in this inspiring learning opportunity, and best of luck to all the students in their summer of discovery and skill building! 🤓
