Ecology students recently took their learning outside the classroom on a field trip to a local river, where they sampled macroinvertebrates and fish species to assess the overall health of the river ecosystem. By observing and identifying the organisms living in and around the water, students gained a deeper understanding of how biodiversity and species populations can indicate water quality and environmental health. This real-world investigation allowed students to apply their classroom knowledge while exploring the important connection between aquatic life and a healthy ecosystem. #BDP #BetterEveryDay #ForksUp
