It is save just wear gloves when sampling be aware of ecoli-.
Microplastics on the water surface. Stormwater is one of the pollution in the immediate surroundings.
Odour: Decomposing/Rotting.
There wqere two crocus growing up from the corner of the stream bed. They look like hybrid of prairie crocus a native species to Boreal forest and colder climates like in the north. Algae has grown in the past 10 days which could be shown through the photos. It looks like blue and green and could indicate a reason to observe further due to its fast growing nature and natural sunlight nad oxygen, this could create a bloom like organism, best to observe over the summer months and see if breakoffs of mats are transported down river or whether they stay. There is zero canopy on the water body right now. There was a mother robin and two geese but they did not land or come near the brown chocolate milk highway running into the freshwater of St Marys River. In the freshwater of St. Marys a sample was taken downstream of the stormwater at a depth of 1 metre
