Kick sampling training day with Dr Kevin Caley of LARC

We were given some kick sampling nets, trays and sorting trays by the NMB.

This afternoon we were given a dem of how to use them by Kevin in the Corran by the car park.

We will in future be testing the river above the salt water level as part of our river monitoring programme.

Below are some images from the session.

Kevin showing us how to do it.

We will be doing the sampling from time to time and anyone is welcome to join in. If you are interested please email us so we can let you know the dates or follow us on facebook
