The Wrack: little river

This is my final week in Maine as a research and coastal training program intern for the summer. I have mainly been studying the detrimental effects of nitrogen runoff. The three-year project that I helped start looks at Branch Brook and the Merriland River in the Little River Watershed. We selected 20 sites to analyze nitrogen runoff and how it affects the fish, the macroinvertebrates, the river habitat, and the water quality itself.

A Watershed Council met this morning at the Wells Reserve to continue its collaborative work toward protecting water resources while ensuring clean water for today and for the next generation.
