A CITIZEN science project which focuses on the invertebrates found in Scotland’s rivers has been launched.
The Guardians of our Rivers project from Buglife Scotland will train local communities to recognise and understand the important invertebrates that live in the country’s rivers by employing survey and monitoring techniques used by scientists.
It is hoped that the citizen scientists will help the charity discover more about the health of Scotland’s freshwater environments, as the health of insect life can often act as an early warning system that highlights water quality issues.
