Development and Implementation of Biological Assessment Tools for Wade-able Streams in Eastern Alaska
Mining and other anthropogenic activities have potentially impacted stream ecosystems across eastern Alaska, including in Denali National Park and Preserve, Wrangell-St.
Elias National Park and Preserve, and Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, but there has never been a comprehensive, quantitative assessment of those impacts.
The purpose of this agreement is to provide that assessment, and to create an optimal macroinvertebrate biological assessment tool for eastern Alaska for use in wade-able stream systems.
We seek to develop biological assessment indices that can be applied at both the stream reach and regional scales to make accurate and precise biological condition determinations.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
