Mrs. Gerding's Marine Science class worked with the Friends of the Shiawassee River, who have a grant through the Michigan EGLE department to monitor streams and tributaries of the Shiawassee River for water quality. We did this collection out at the Hulien Rd. boat launch. The volunteers use nets to stir up and collect the small critters that live in the sediment on the bottom of the river, called benthic macroinvertebrates. Using a water quality index calculation, we collect and identify how many of the bugs and other small critters we collect from various categories, and based on their tolerance for pollution, we can calculate a water quality rating for our river. Preliminary findings are that we likely have good water quality on the Bad River. We found several pollution-sensitive macroinvertebrates, which tells us there's not much pollution at the site. We found water scorpions, caddisflies, mayfly larvae, dragonfly larvae, damselfly larvae, and many others, along with some freshwater mussels and snails.
