💧 World Water Day

Inland waters are essential to life on Earth and central to many of today’s environmental challenges.

🌍 This World Water Day, we highlight the importance of science in understanding and sustaining freshwater ecosystems.

#WorldWaterDay #Limnology #FreshwaterScience #InlandWaters

Man sitting on the bank of a stream with a fish in his hand- he looks happy.

How do harmful algal blooms reshape the Lake Erie ecosystem?

Join us Wed 3/18 for @fishsciencedude.bsky.social dissertation presentation on how Microcystis blooms affect walleye reproduction, amphibian development, and fish communities.

Small Streams Hold the Key to Healthy Rivers New state water quality report confirms Stroud Center science: restoring healthy rivers demands upstream focus.

Small streams are the unsung heroes of healthy rivers. 💧✨
Here’s why focusing upstream works (and why it takes patience): stroudcenter.org/news/small-s...
