Monitoring Life on the Illinois River

By Jason Beverlin
Deputy Director of the Illinois River Program

August 2007 — Yellow Springs Instruments donated $100,000 worth of instruments. Now that restoration has begun, we have all kinds of things to monitor here, from vegetation to fish to oxygen, and we can even check live feeds on the University of Illinois at Springfield's web site.
