The Broad River Watershed Association (BRWA) advocates for protection and management of the Broad River Watershed in northeast Georgia. BRWA reached out for help in understanding stream health in the Broad River Watershed and to analyze results of a survey of landowner values, concerns, and land management activities. To assess baseline stream health, I applied mesohabitat-specific macroinvertebrate sampling methods at 15 sites distributed within the watershed and representing differing levels of support for designated uses according to GA-EPD 2022 303d/305b reports. I did not find spatial patterns in macroinvertebrate abundances or species tolerances, nor associations with upstream land use. Rather, I found significant differences in sensitive and pollutant tolerant macroinvertebrates among stream habitats, such that streams lacking riffle habitat had a lower proportion of individuals in the orders Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera. The survey found many respondents are open to learning more about water quality issues and have more interactions with local organizations in comparison to state or government organizations. An online GIS-based “Story Map” will highlight the need for watershed conservation, the results of our macroinvertebrate collect, results of the social survey, and will include a citizen-science focused stream health monitoring plan.
