Urbanized watersheds are often at odds with a variety of anthropogenic pressures including land use change, channelization, lowered water availability, and increases in sediment and nutrient runoff. These stresses, in turn, negatively impact the biotic integrity of aquatic habitats. Rocky Creek, a low-order urban stream in Augusta, Georgia underwent a stream improvement effort in Winter 2023 which consisted of the planting of native riparian vegetation and the installation of instream features such as riffle enhancements and bank stabilization. These physical alterations were selected to minimize sediment deposition and increase viable habitat for aquatic biota. In late 2018, prior to the restoration effort, the habitat integrity of Rocky Creek was examined utilizing the GAEPD Rapid Bioassessment Protocol. This multimetric assessment approach takes into account the physical stream characteristics as well as organisms present in the habitat. The main organisms of interest are aquatic macroinvertebrates; groups such as immature insects, crustaceans, worms, and bivalves. These organisms are an essential biotic component in streams as they break down organic material, cycle nutrients, and support larger organisms as a prey source. As a group, aquatic macroinvertebrates have been widely used for biological monitoring because of their taxonomic diversity, ubiquity in aquatic environments, short life cycles, ease of capture, and, most importantly, range of tolerance to environmental stressors. In late 2024, we returned to the study site for post-restoration sampling. Our data, coupled with the pre-restoration assessment, will allow us to understand the efficacy of the restoration efforts in Rocky Creek. Ensuring the health and function of stream habitats in urban settings is crucial as population grow and cities spread. This study aims to better understand the biotic impacts of urban stream restoration and to inform future management decisions.
