Summary

From 2 April - 29 April 2022, a Virginia Tech team of 2-3 sampled the macroinvertebrate community in 30 Coastal Plain streams (Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, USA) as part of a larger stream-health study including other teams who surveyed geomorphology, water quality, flow, temperature,fish community, and fish health at the same 30 streams. Macroinvertebrates were sampled using a 250 micrometer mesh slack sampler on a known area. At each stream, samples were collected in two ways. 1) Five slack samples were taken in riffles according to the USGS National Water-Quality Assessment protocol, and 2) Five additional slack samples were collected in the most productive available habitat types such as woody debris, undercut banks or leaf [...]

Purpose

These macroinvertebrate community data were collected as part of a larger interdisciplinary Delmarva field campaign (https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/62fea68ed34e3a4442876167 ) to evaluate the effect of agricultural land use and conservation practices on holistic stream health.
