Norbury Lake Field Water Quality

The East Kootenay Invasive Species Council (EKISC) conducts invasive mussel monitoring on various waterbodies across the region. A water sample is taken at each lake using a plankton tow net to test for invasive Zebra and Quagga mussel larva. Ancillary data including temperature, pH, and Secchi depth are taken at each water body and are shared in this dataset. Higher priority lakes (i.e., lakes that receive more transient use) are sampled twice per month, while lower priority lakes are sampled once per month from the beginning of June until the end of September. This program is funded by a grant program administered by the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation (HCTF) in partnership with B.C’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.

东库特尼入侵物种委员会（East Kootenay Invasive Species Council, EKISC）在其管辖区域内的各类水体开展入侵贻贝监测工作。该项目使用浮游生物拖网在每个湖泊采集水样，用于检测入侵性的斑马贻贝和纹斑贻贝幼虫。本数据集同时收录了在每个水体采集的辅助数据，包括水温、酸碱度（pH）以及塞氏盘透明度（Secchi depth）。其中，高优先级湖泊（即临时到访人流较多的湖泊）每月采样两次，低优先级湖泊则于6月初至9月末期间每月采样一次。本监测项目由栖息地保护信托基金会（Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, HCTF）管理的赠款项目资助，并与不列颠哥伦比亚省环境与气候变化战略部合作开展。
