Notes: The videos are select examples of
over 330, mostly half-hour, educational
television shows that we had produced, though some were of
subsequent research
initiatives.
They are kindly hosted on the YouTube. The `knowledge' in most of these
videos is as current today as it was when they were produced. Click on
the web links which are a subtle change in colour; In most cases, the
photos/icons can be clicked upon as well in order to launch the videos.
(.............. in
memory of our dearly departed associate, Peter Shacklock, a research
biologist. Peter, using his own electronic equipment, had
digitized select videos from our 3rd and 4th generation SVHS television
tapes)

carry out end-of-the-pipe total stormwater
treatment as far as possible, but John's promotion of community
stewardship empowers the individual. A combination of the two would
be the most desirable.

Freshwater
Benthic Ecology
"Biomonitoring is the systematic
use of living organisms or their responses to determine the quality of
the environment. Water pollution is essentially a biological problem.
Chemical measurements are like taking snapshots of the ecosystem,
whereas biological measurements are like making a videotape. The
ultimate purpose of environmental assessment and regulation is the
maintenance of biological integrity, ..................." -- Prof.
David M. Rosenberg PhD, Univ. of Manitoba and the Freshwater
Institute, DFO, Winnipeg. (cf. Bull. Entomol. Soc. Can.
1998. 30(4):144-152.)
