For volunteers who want to know more, Blue Thumb holds data interpretation sessions to help volunteers understand the results of their monitoring efforts. Volunteers then write a data interpretation for their stream, using their own data, as well as the data obtained from their bug and fish collections, which helps them learn more about water quality, the data they collect, and the stream they care about.
