Aqualore Labs Field Journal
Welcome to Field Journal, Aqualore’s journal of freshwater life, bug discoveries and thoughts from the field. Here’s where we share what we’re noticing, reading, sampling, or thinking about. From bug of the month to practical how-to guides and behind the scenes, you’ll find helpful ways you can care for or help the freshwater of New Zealand. It’s part guidebook, part streamside notebook, shaped by our time in the lab or field.
