Professional and volunteer monitoring of chemistry, macroinvertebrates, and fish to support restoration and protection efforts represent an invaluable (and often neglected) tool to evaluate short- and long-term progress toward conservation priorities and goals. This project develops and implements monitoring and evaluation efforts as part of restoration and protection plans for targeted watersheds in the Brandywine-Christina, Middle Schuylkill, and Schuylkill Highlands clusters in the Delaware River Basin.
