Conducting Presence/Absence & Relative Abundance Survey for O. Rusticus in the Van Campens Watershed area of Watergate. Research Permit and Reporting System
In October, 2015, a non-native female Rusty Crayfish (Orconectes rusticus/ Faxonious rusticus) was discovered for the first time in DEWA in one of the ponds that is immediately adjacent to, and drains into, VanCampens Brook (Watergate Pond #2). Presence absence surveys for rusty crayfish were conducted in the Watergate Ponds and VanCampens Brook in the summer of 2016. Rusty crayfish were found in abundance from downstream of the Watergate site but upstream of the VanCampens Glen waterfall.
