The project was unique in that it provided training to members of watershed groups across the Island so that they could develop the technological capacity to conduct riparian health assessments in their watersheds and apply the information collected to 5-year management planning. ...
Effective hand hygiene reduces the risk of meat contamination and the transmission of foodborne disease Clean hands are essential to health and effective handwashing is one of the simplest ways to prevent the spread of germs. Hand hygiene is particularly important in minimizing food safety risks along food animal chains, as there are many diseases that can be transmitted to humans from polluted ...
Bickley’s research with the miniDOT® Logger, read his first featured case study Measuring Ecosystem Metabolism After Stream Restoration.The Ecology of Tidal Creeks Compared to their freshwater counterparts, tidal streams have been largely neglected in watershed studies. As such, regulations designed to prevent urban development may not be effective or applicable. ...
An adaptive thresholding method followed by a watershed segmentation algorithm is employed to segment cells of interest areas. ...
The virus tends to become endemic to most watersheds in which it is found. IPN virus can infect fish at all stages in the life cycle. ...
The NOAA Ocean Service Education explained: One reason that estuaries are such productive ecosystems is that the water filtering through them brings in nutrients from the surrounding watershed [T]hat same water often brings with it all of the pollutants that were applied to the lands in the watershed. ...
In many coastal watersheds and ecosystems, rivers discharging to estuaries receive waters from domestic wastewater treatment plants resulting in the release and distribution of pharmaceuticals to the marine environment. ...
Instream flows of the rapidly urbanizing watersheds and estuaries of the Gulf of Mexico in Texas (USA) are increasingly dominated by reclaimed waters. ...
We advocate a mosaic approach to farming, replacing large-scale monocultures supported by intensive inputs with managed landscapes in which smaller areas of intensive production are supported by and integrated with contiguous areas providing waste retention, pollination, watershed, climate regulation and other services. Mosaics may operate over a range of different scales, from ...

In an effort to assess the combined risk estrone (E1), 17β‐estradiol (E2), 17α‐ethinyl estradiol (EE2), and estriol (E3) pose to aquatic wildlife across United States watersheds, two sets of predicted‐no‐effect concentrations (PNECs) for significant reproductive effects in fish were compared to predicted environmental concentrations (PECs). ...
A survey of surface water from the Grand River watershed showed that both genes were detected at five sampling locations, with the ail and yadA genes detected in 38 and 21% of samples, respectively. ...
This study evaluated the presence of both fecal coliforms and Escherichia coli O157:H7 at five sites in rural and urban areas in the eastern part of the Wildcat Creek watershed. Escherichia coli O157:H7 was isolated by immunomagnetic separation. ...
