This is why we sample Hamilton Harbour May-Dec for water chem, phytoplankton and zooplankton since 2019. This #CBC article notes the tertiary treatment upgrades to Woodward #wastewater treatment plant went online in 2022. Wastewater outflow accounts for 50% of the volume of #HamiltonHarbour (!) so these expensive upgrades were necessary. We are studying how the #algae blooms and #plankton food web changes with this restoration in this #GreatLakes Area of Concern. #ecology

There isn't much ice this year but we took advantage of the mild weather to use the #CCGSlimnos as a platform to train our new co-op students to sample #HamiltonHarbour water properties and #zooplankton this week. Winter limnology is not well documented for the #GreatLakes so we are making an effort to collect samples monthly if we can. Plenty of phytoplankton and zooplankton. We will do our part sampling again for the collaborative 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 #WinterGrab2023 in a month.
