#Webinar - #Marsh and #Stream Explorers: A Treasure Hunt to Find Healthy Freshwater #Habitats in #Maine

Apr 22 2026
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

"Curious about what critters live in your local streams and freshwater marshes? Come learn about Maine Marsh and Stream Explorers, a collaborative #CommunityScience project between #MaineAudubon and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (#MEDEP). This program trains volunteers to survey for #macroinvertebrates, or large #AquaticInsects, in streams and freshwater #marshes statewide. With many macroinvertebrates sensitive to temperature, #pollutants, and other environmental stressors, their presence or absence serve as an important indicator of overall wetland health. This data then becomes an invaluable screening tool for #MaineDEP to prioritize where more-indepth water quality assessments should be conducted.

"In this webinar you’ll learn about what the Marsh and Stream Explorers project has accomplished and its impact on water quality monitoring statewide. We’ll look at our overall results, share our successes, and talk about future goals of the project. If you’re interested in getting outdoors, learning something new, and protecting your local watershed, this community science project is for you! Come learn more about how you can get involved. In-person field training for survey techniques to follow."

Celebrating the Bay's stunning marshes & wetlands on this #WorldWetlandsDay

Sadly, most of the Bay's historic #wetlands have been destroyed - which is why it's so important to preserve and protect the ones we have left!

Ghost forests are growing due to #sealevelrise
As trees choked by #saltwater die along low-lying coasts, #marshes may move in. Arboreal graveyards are showing up in places where the land slopes gently into the ocean and where salty water increasingly encroaches. Along the United States’ East Coast, in pockets of the West Coast, and elsewhere, saltier soils have killed hundreds of thousands of acres of trees, leaving behind woody skeletons typically surrounded by #marsh.

It was a hard and nervy kite aerial photography session - but we got one of the most fascinating lakes in Slovenia: the nearly circular Podpeč lake, a true Eye of the Marshes.

Eye of the Marshes - KAP Jasa - kite team Slovenia

Cyclops were never cool. Κύκλωπες, circle-eyed, one-eyed monsters, relics of a strange and magical past, giants different and bizarre, quintessential Others. Polyphemus of the Odyssey was a Neolithic man, a pastoralist, dabbling in sheep transhumance, having nothing in common with Bronze Age long-distance trading farmers, artisans, boar-helmeted warriors. Cyclopes inhabit strange, scary, inaccessible places – ... Read more
