Aquatic Insect Ecology For Environmental Professionals
Level 2

September 12, 2022 - September 15, 2022

NCAEP Member $740 | Non-Member $765

Aquatic insects (Benthic Macroinvertebrates) play key roles in many regulatory water quality programs in North Carolina and the Southeast.  These insects have been used by regulatory agencies to assess water pollution and trends in stream health since the mid-70’s.  Many metrics have been developed to make the use of these data effective and understandable to non-biologists.  Benthic insects are proposed as tools for the determination of stream restoration effectiveness and project prioritization by regulatory agencies.  Despite the value of this group of organisms in regulatory programs, very little is generally known about these insects as valuable regulatory tools.  This workshop series will introduce participants to the ecology and taxonomy of aquatic insects.
