Benthic Macroinvertebrate Health Assessment of Little Hawk Lake
Abstract
This project is the fourth year Trent University has collaborated with the U-Links Centre for Community Based Research and Halls & Hawks Lakes Property Owner Association (HHLPOA). This collaboration finds Trent University biology students gathering data for a five-year long collaborative benthic macro-invertebrate biomonitoring program. The purpose of the health assessment of Little Hawk Lake is for Trent students to collect data that will be interpreted to provide a statement on the current perceived state of Little Hawk Lake. The data collected will also be used as baseline data for U-Links and HHLPOA projects which will be interpreted in the future by the collaborating groups to evaluate water quality and overall health of the lake through the usage of OBBN benthic macro-invertebrates.
