      <title>Benthic Sampling Day 2026 (6 Aug 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;" color="#2F6086"&gt;&lt;strong style=""&gt;Our Benthic monitoring program continues for 2026 on Thursday August 6 th.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#455156" face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;We welcome all those interested in learning more about the “bugs in the mud” and lake health,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;With the guidance of the District of Muskoka Biomonitoring Technician, volunteers will identify creatures collected in the benthic zone from&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;one or two appropriate sites on the lake.&amp;nbsp; About 6 to 8 volunteers are required for a couple of hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Benthic sampling provides an indicator of lake health; Benthic invertebrates are responsive to environmental impacts, therefore a diverse Benthic population is is a sign of a productive and healthy ecosystem.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;A backgrounder on Benthic Sampling by Lynda McCarthy can be found on the&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://ljna.org/Water-Quality" target="_blank" style=""&gt;Water Quality&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;page of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;LJNA website.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
