Measuring the flow
the river teaches us balance
stone, leaf, and current.

A close up view of a massive, fallen eucalyptus trunk resting on a riverbank. The silver grey bark is deeply textured with swirling grain patterns. The trunk is partially submerged in the pale green water and is framed by a dense wall of dry, tan coloured reeds. The focus is sharp on the intricate details of the wood, showing the strength and age of the timber.

Ancient silvered roots of the Murray.

Cold water = slow metabolism. Low light = low plant/algae growth. So the surface looks quiet…
…but under stones, in weed, and along the margins, the invertebrates are very much “in session”.

I really enjoyed this conversation about rivers, fly fishing, ecology, and native fish with Katie for her Fish Untamed podcast. It’s a wonderful podcast with some great guests and topics.

Natural Barriers Challenge Downstream Assumptions in Swedish Rivers

Umeå University study in northern Sweden shows lakes, rapids and sand‑peat flats act as barriers, so Bjurbäcken and Hjuksån do not consistently widen or host more plant species downstream. getnews.me/natural-barriers-challen... #sweden #riverecology

Hundreds plunge into Chicago River in city’s first open-water swim in nearly a century About 300 swimmers participated in the event, marveling at the clean water and festive atmosphere. Event organizers say they'll donate $100,000 to ALS research and $50,000 to fund swim lessons for abo...

Two years ago, public health officials were against swimming in Chicago River, deemed unsafe due to bacteria (fecal coliform).
Now safe per EPA standards - or at least Main Stem

Another great practical video by #AndrewMillison and something I think is often overlooked in Ireland for Flood resilience.

Highlights on:

- Sediment traps
- Retention ponds
- Zigzig terracing

Tribal rights lawsuits could push the Columbia River Basin issue to the Supreme Court, so there’s still hope for salmon on the Columbia & Snake rivers.

Day 1287. My first opportunity to take samples at the mouth of the Serrano River! This is your largest river in the Magallanes Region, and its glaciers turn the water grey with silt. An incredible place for fieldwork!

Very informative #RiverEcology thread.

Co-worker found a turtle at work! So I made her our mascot!

Despite the low flows, the Big Sur River is still harboring a bunch of curious trout! Views from this morning, how many fish do you see??? #bigsur #steelhead #rainbowtrout #riverecology #riverrestoration #fish #fieldwork #fieldbiologist

Another American Dipper doing some in-depth research on the #riverecology of the Big Sur River. #birds #amdi #americandipper #whenidipyoudipwedip #bigsur #bugsurriver

The Big Sur River is relatively murky (by coast standards) and green at the moment. Still low-flowing and haven’t seen any sign of steelhead running this year yet. Just these littles, hanging out. 25 ft3/s? #bigsur #riverecology #steelhead #trout #fish #fieldbiologist

A large red crayfish with bluish claws sits, captured in a hand net. A biologist in an orange vest holds the crawdad net up for the camera.

Did you know that the vast majority of crayfish/crawdads now in Cali are non-native? Cali only had 3 native crayfish species (1 extinct, 2 on the ropes), when their much larger cousins, the Signal Crayfish, were introduced here as a food source. #InverteFest #crayfish #ecology #riverecology #bigsur

...make a tough decision to either stay in the river as resident trout, or migrate to sea. If you were a trout, what would you choose?
A big thank you to our science team for capturing these cracking photos while hard at work📷
