Biologists join forces to share knowledge
Mark MacDougall and Louis Savard, from The River Institute, will explain what bi- ologists truly do, and answer many more questions when they tag team as guest speakers for Science and Nature on Tap at Schnitzel’s, on April 1 st at 7 p.m. As River Institute researchers, Mark and Louis study the aquatic life that exists on, under and around rocks and sediments, on the bottom of the St. Lawrence River, so that they can determine its health. In scientific terms, the word “benthos” re- fers to organisms which live on, in or near the bottom. The sensitivity of a freshwater “benthic” community to changes in envi- ronmental quality makes it an essential part of any biomonitoring program. The types of insects and plant life that one sees in the bottom of the river are key indicators of the quality of the water flowing by and as river detectives, the Institute is examining these
theMinistry of the Environment andClimate Change and with Grand River Conservation. As Mark’s partner in laboratory investiga- tion, Louis Savard has a wealth of diverse experiences in environmental research and is a distinguished graduate of the Environ- mental Technician program of St. Lawrence College in Cornwall. Along with his work with algae and aquatic ecology, he has also developed a unique niche with the River Institute’s Technical Services branch, in re- gards to his expertise surrounding water utilized in the brewing process. “The public is invited to get to the bot- tom of what is really going on in the bottom of this river,”explained Karen Douglass Coo- per, coordinator of Science and Nature on Tap. “It is also a great opportunity to meet one on one with our scientists and learn more about the research we are undertak- ing in regards to the St. Lawrence.”
