Lakefly hopes to engage Citizen Scientists with lakes, by offering an invertebrate sampling method that is widely accessible.

Lakefly aims to provide a simple, standardised monitoring technique for sampling macro invertebrates in lakes. To date, very little has been done on freshwater invertebrates in lake environments, and Lakefly hopes to fill this gap in the data. Lakefly will allow us to collect presence and abundance data on a range of freshwater invertebrates and this data will allow us to monitor changes occurring in lakes over time.
