Happy #wetlandWednesday! We are wrapping up this

Happy #wetlandWednesday! We are wrapping up this seasons AERF BioBlitz series. This project was initiated to monitor and promote wetland's in Bonavista, St.Shott's and Swift Current. We chose these three communities because they represent different eco-regions that you can find within the province. All of these wetlands feed into watersheds that provide habitat for vulnerable and endangered species such as Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and American eel (Anguilla rostrata). 👉 Swipe through to see some of the incredible species we documented this year! Of course, there are many more species still waiting to be recorded. We look forward to continuing this project next year with the ongoing collection of data alongside community members and our project partner, Aquatic Conservation Initiative. 💧✨ This project is funded and supported by the Aquatic Ecosystems Restoration Fund (AERF) made possible by @FisheriesOceansCAN In efforts of restoration and conservation of aquatic ecosystems #iNaturalist #BioBlitz #AERF #watersheds #Wetlands #protectwetlands @aquaticconservationinitiative

Want to know why some rivers in NL are brown? Join

Want to know why some rivers in NL are brown? Join us for an evening with PhD candidate Kavi Heerah to learn more! About the talk:
The rivers of Newfoundland especially the rivers found in the barrens have high amounts of carbon and iron. This is what gives the water that dark brown colour. We know that the carbon from the barrens can carry more iron than other rivers but the why and the how is still being investigated. Our group has been sampling the Seal Cove River every month since 2020 hoping to learn more about the unique carbon in the rivers of Newfoundland. On this talk we’ll discuss: 1) what exactly gives the rivers of NL its brown colour, 2) how we can study the carbon in the river, and 3) why the rivers from the barrens matter for ocean productivity. #PublicTalk #Freshwater #HealthHabitats #WHC #Nature #Science
