Community-Based, Science-Based Watershed Stewardship

A bridge between Aquatic Bugs and Indigenous Peoples?

“Our universe is controlled by seven spirits… the spirit of the earth, the spirit of the water, the spirit of the word… The reason our environment has degraded is that the spirits were dishonored and have departed…”

Hydropsyche Means… Water Spirit

Lake Watch of Lake Martin! The Story of a Logo This organism in the AWW logo is an aquatic macroinvertebrate called a CADDISFLY. This particular caddisfly is named HYDROPSYCHE, and is an important member of stream communities throughout Alabama. The name Hydro*psyche means Water*Spirit. It is, therefore, a fitting symbol of the growing "spirit" of involvement, enthusiasm and concern for Alabama's water resources that citizens have shown through Alabama Water Watch…and Lake Watch of Lake Martin!
