Spring 2025 Environmental Monitor Available Now

1 week ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

In the Spring 2025 edition of the Environmental Monitor, we highlight partnerships across the world and the importance of collaboration between government agencies, universities, environmental groups, local communities, and other stakeholders. From great white shark research in Cape Cod to monitoring fisheries in Lake Erie, this latest edition underscores partnerships that connect stakeholders in a watershed through environmental data.
Monitoring Mariculture in the Gulf of Alaska

1 week ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

The mariculture industry in the Gulf of Alaska has been steadily growing in recent years, guided by ongoing research to help refine farm location and cultivation practices. A subset of aquaculture, mariculture focuses on rearing organisms in the open ocean. In Alaska, finfish farming is illegal, so most farms cultivate kelp, oysters, or a combination of the two.
Expanding the Port Everglades: Real-Time Monitoring of Water Quality Conditions from Planned Dredging Operation

3 weeks ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

The Port Everglades in Broward County, Florida, serves large trade vessels and cruiseliners and incoming and outgoing recreational boaters. However, as cargo ships become larger, the port must expand. A dredging project led by the US Army Corps of Engineers will substantially deepen and widen the port’s navigation channel to accommodate larger Panamax cargo ships and modern cruise liners. As a result of this project, a large amount of sediment will be displaced into the water column.
It’s Time to React to Water Quality: Proteus Multiparameter Probe aboard NexSens Buoy

1 month ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

Water quality monitoring is essential for safeguarding public health, protecting ecosystems, and ensuring the sustainability of water resources. Contaminants such as industrial pollutants, agricultural runoff, and sewage discharge can severely impact aquatic life and pose serious risks to human health if left unchecked.
Great Lakes Research Center: Designing Targeted Monitoring Solutions

1 month ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world’s freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region.
Monitoring Meadowbrook Creek: Real-Time Data Collection in an Urban Creek

2 months ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

Meadowbrook Creek in Syracuse, New York, has been monitored by Syracuse University (SU) faculty and students for over a decade. Originally established by Dr. Laura Lautz in 2012, the early years of the program focused on collecting grab water samples for laboratory analysis and evaluating the impact of urban land use, human activities, and natural processes on water resources.
Lancaster County Makes the Switch to Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring Systems

2 months ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

Continuous data collection in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, started about 5 years ago, and the county will be making a major upgrade over the next year—switching from relying solely on the internal storage of water quality sondes to telemetry units that enable real-time data viewing. Since the Lancaster County Conservation District started monitoring county waterways, the goal has remained the same, according to Amanda Goldsmith, Watershed Specialist for the Watershed Department.
Watershed Stewardship in Minnesota: Protecting Valley Creek in the Land of 10,000 Lakes

2 months ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

The Saint Croix Watershed is home to dozens of lakes, rivers, and streams that host an abundance of aquatic life from its tributaries. Valley Creek, a tributary of the St. Croix River, is a designated trout stream and while it is a pristine waterway, ongoing monitoring and stewardship establish a baseline of conditions and protect the creek.
From Pans to Buoys: Advancing Reservoir Evaporation Rate Monitoring in Texas

2 months ago | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

In warmer climates like Texas, high reservoir evaporation rates can lead to declines in water level and water availability during droughts, making monitoring essential in order to ensure water security during times of scarcity. According to the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB), evaporation rates in Texas were previously based on data collected from a sparse network of Class A evaporation stations, dating back to the 1950s.
Wildfires and Wildlife: Relocating Coastal Rainbow Trout to the Arroyo Seco Stream

Feb 10, 2025 | fondriest.com | Samantha Baxter

Human interaction has negatively impacted the hundreds of streams that run through Southern California. Man-made river and stream diversions, channeling, and damming have changed the physical and chemical characteristics of these waterways. In addition to physical impairments, climate change is increasingly impacting the ecosystems of streams.
