Project ScumScan

Our citizen science group in LA ( http://www.lamakerspace.com/communitylab ) has been measuring water quality along the river as well as capturing water samples. We're trying to measure the base biodiversity of the river system by getting a census of all of the species we've been sampling. This will help indicate the overall health and diversity of the river system.
