Current Projects
American Ordnance Grant - Invertebrates & Fishes
This project involves the development and implementation of a program intended to monitor the fluctuations in aquatic invertebrates in ponds and stream systems on and adjacent to the Milan Army Ammunition Plant near Milan, Tennessee.  Fishes are also being inventoried.  The goal of the study is to gather enough long-term data to make a reliable determination regarding the overall health of the aquatic macroinvertebrate and fish fauna, and to identify the various species that comprise these communities.
