Treking through the Northeast end of the New Territories. Few random dog encounters mixed with some nice natural streams. Just shy of our site goal for the season. #eDNA #macroinvertebrates

Our initial Hong Kong #Chironomidae survey is done. Elaine is busy making sure we get the traps down before Christmas. Over 200 new additions to the species checklist so far from the sample sorting. #biodiversity

Finished a busy week sampling around the Tai Tam reservoir system. Hong Kong does not have any natural lakes, but the reservoirs help keep a good part of Hong Kong somewhat rugged.

Off and about Mui Wo today. Slight panic attack when Dr. Han Wu repacked the pump so I ‘wouldn’t be carrying too much.’ Another productive day with a great group and great weather. #freshwater #eDNA #macroinvertebrates
