Invertebrates of the St Clair River Sediment |
|
|
Ian Harris worked as a research scientist with Petrosar. When he retired, scientific curiosity pushed him to do some more research. He chose the invertibrates in the sediment of the St. Clair River for two reasons. Firstly, he loved "messing about in boats" and secondly because he had always loved and admired the St Clair River. He believes this River, which is technically a Strait, has been in existence for at least 10,000 years. This project took nine years and included a study of the North Sydenham River for comparison purposes.He found the creatures; worms, clams,beetles etc. very interesting. Ian is currently studying the invertibrates in a forest at Port Franks. Recommended reading:
