The main goal of the Grand Traverse Stream Search project was to
continue to implement The Watershed Center’s (TWC) Stream
Search volunteer monitoring program. Stream Search, launched in
June 2003, is TWC’s bi-annual monitoring program which consists
of groups of volunteers, led by a trained team leader, that are
assigned to area streams to sample macroinvertebrates and complete
habitat assessments in the spring and fall of each year.
In addition to providing valuable water quality data where TWC can
track and detect early changes to a stream system, Stream Search
serves as an important educational tool. Stream Search will also
help to increase interest and awareness of watershed issues and
stewardship of the resource among area residents and visitors.
