Species count at city stream

Students by a stream counting species - citizen science project

Students involved in a citizen science project in Auckland identify and count the number of species they collected in a water sample at a local stream. A diverse species count can be an indication of good water quality.

Any work to restore a stream must begin with a stock-take of what species are present and what issues are likely affecting the stream.
