The document summarizes data collected by volunteers from two streams, Delaware Creek and Coffee Creek, in Oklahoma. The volunteers measured physical habitat, collected fish and macroinvertebrates, and tested water chemistry. Delaware Creek had higher quality physical habitat and biological communities than Coffee Creek, indicating it is in better condition. Both streams are compared to a reference for their ecoregion.

Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Monitoring Chinook Salmon in Californ...FISHBIO
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) undertake some of the most well-known and well-studied migrations in the animal kingdom. Following extensive migrations through riverine and marine environments, salmon in California’s Central Valley return to highly altered and spatially constrained freshwater spawning habitats. Millions of dollars are spent annually to monitor these migrations and mitigate the effects of habitat loss and hydropower operation on freshwater spawning and rearing habitat. Yet, populations remain imperiled due to increasing water temperatures, water diversions, channel alterations, high predation rates, and replacement of wild stocks with straying hatchery stocks. The Stanislaus River has one of the most comprehensive and longest running life-cycle monitoring programs in the Central Valley. Monitoring activities are designed to track the abundance, distribution, migration characteristics, and habitat use of Chinook salmon, using a variety of different sampling methods and technologies. Rotary screw trap monitoring is used to characterize juvenile downstream migration, while a fish counting weir is used to monitor upstream migration of adults. Snorkel and seining surveys document abundance and habitat use, redd and carcass surveys document spawning, collect biological samples and coded-wire-tags. These data will inform flow management and habitat enhancement to provide suitable conditions for multiple life stages of Chinook salmon.

PA needs to draft a strong Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP), not for the sake of the Chesapeake, but for the health of the Susquehanna. In January, the PA Fish and Boat Commission came out with a resolution that points out that the water quality of the Susquehanna is the cause for the demise of the Susquehanna bass fishery. Please watch this movie of the powerpoint that I presented in front of PA DEP Secretary Hanger and PA Department of Agriculture Secretary Redding (9/1/2010).
This presentation provides an overview of a grass-roots oyster restoration effort by a non-profit. The Massachusetts Oyster Project For Clean Water entity is seeking to establish reefs of the water cleansing mollusks in the estuaries of Boston Harbor. An oyster can filter 30 gallons of water per day. For more information visit www.massoyster.org

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

11. High quality streams have been designated for all Oklahoma ecoregions. High Quality Streams known to have high quality fish and macroinvertebrate populations, in-stream and riparian habitat, and water quality.
12. Blue Thumb staff works with volunteers to review stream data and compare it against the high quality streams.
13. Different fish and macroinvertebrate species have different abilities to tolerate pollution and habitat changes. How does the life in YOUR stream compare to the life in your ecoregion’s high quality streams?

Volunteers go through a two day training that prepares them to collect chemical data.
Volunteers have help from Blue Thumb staff for fish collections and macroinvertebrate collections – Northern Studfish
Habitat information is recorded when fish are collected, and to a lesser degree during the macroinvertebrate collections. Taking information on substrate, riparian area condition, amount of shade over the water, depth, instream cover, etc.
Because the OCC WQ Division’s Rotating Basin Program, we also have “High Quality Streams” against which we can measure the volunteer monitored streams.
The high quality streams are from the various ecoregions, and it is by ecoregion that the average of the HQS with the volunteer monitored streams are compared. OK is rich in ecoregions, another reason why we live in a pretty special state.
