From 7/18 to 7/22, we participated in the water project (aka Heal the Bay's Creek Week). It was open to students of all districts enrolled in PAVA. Basically, it's a summer program in which students spend a week exploring different water sites that eventually leads to the ocean. These included Big Tujunga Creek, Hansen Dam, Glendale Narrows, Compton Creek, and finally the Aquarium of the Pacific, where we were able to see where the river meets the ocean. As we progressed from one water site to the next, we were able to notice more and more human influence. In other words, we went from the most pristine of the water sheds to the most impacted. In order to get a deeper understanding of the various creeks, rivers, and dams, we performed many tasks. These included exploring the sites, testing water samples, and looking for macroinvertebrates. Overall, it was a really fun program, and everyone learned a lot. Here are some pictures of what Creek Week was like. Enjoy!
