WATERSHED SAMPLING
Stream Waders is an adult volunteer stream sampling component of the
Maryland Biological Stream Survey (MBSS), DNR's professional stream sampling
program. The goal of Stream Waders is to fill many of the information gaps
that currently exist on the quality of Maryland's streams. Volunteers sample
aquatic invertebrates in the same watersheds across Maryland as those sampled
by MBSS biologists, only at a smaller watershed scale. Thus, volunteer data
will fit seamlessly into results from the MBSS. Recently three members of
the Washington County Land Development Department attended the volunteer training
and will be sampling 3 different sites within the County. For more information
on how to become a volunteer please visit their website. Click on the
