The AIS Sentry Program educates and empowers community members to recognize and report aquatic invasive species throughout St. Louis County. The AIS Sentry Program helps prevent and limit the spread of AIS in waters throughout St. Louis County.
Citizens are trained to monitor changes in populations of aquatic invasive species over time in specific locations.
The overall objective of the BRWA Water Quality Monitoring Program is to establish at least a four-year baseline of water quality on the streams and rivers within our service area. The baseline data will be used to determine the overall health of watersheds and troubled spots will be investigated.
Birders of all levels of abilities are invited to participate in this fun citizen science event individually or with a team. Count as many species as you can in 24 hours!
