MoNASC is a project designed to explore the ecological systems of less impaired reference streams as well as provide known data for these reference streams. There are multiple goals for this activity and I hope to increase awareness of and help protect high quality less impaired streams in the Mo. Ozarks. I have concluded that many current ideas about urban stream restoration are wrong, which increases the importance of understanding and protecting less impaired streams. This project is currently in the planning phase. See less
