The freshwater component of the Ecological Health Monitoring Program (EHMP) provides a detailed regional overview of the ecosystem health of the non-tidal reaches of rivers and streams throughout South East Queensland. The purpose of the freshwater EHMP is to determine the ambient ecological condition of freshwater (non-tidal) streams draining into Moreton Bay and adjacent coastal waters. Ecological assessments are conducted twice per year in spring (pre-wet season) and autumn (post-wet season)… Show more The freshwater component of the Ecological Health Monitoring Program (EHMP) provides a detailed regional overview of the ecosystem health of the non-tidal reaches of rivers and streams throughout South East Queensland. The purpose of the freshwater EHMP is to determine the ambient ecological condition of freshwater (non-tidal) streams draining into Moreton Bay and adjacent coastal waters. Ecological assessments are conducted twice per year in spring (pre-wet season) and autumn (post-wet season) at multiple fixed sites within each reporting area. The conceptual model developed for the freshwater EHMP includes indicators of physical and chemical parameters, ecosystem processes, aquatic macroinvertebrates, nutrient cycling and fish.I worked as one of four permanent scientist on this project undertaking both field seasons each year. My role included:* Field work planning, logistics, preparation and co-orindation* Field work and assessments of ~140 sites around SE QLD - 2 months per sampling round* Liaising with private land owners, external researchers, government agencies and other stakeholders* Aquatic macroinvertebrate ID to family level (AusRivAS certified)* Data entry, verification and validation* Statistical analysis of metadata* Report writing* Writing and implementing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)* Temporary field staff management* Equipment calibrations and maintenance Show less
