Water in creek is lower and slower since last monitoring in October- increased algal and plant growth on creek bed (benthic layer). Leaf debris also in water. This sampling session was a recruitment session for new monitors (irene and Ebina have retired). Julia Cirillo, Carol Han and SAngela Foley supervised 27 participants.
