This research aims to assess the water quality of estuaries through macroinvertebrate populations as bio-indicators.
Field sampling of macroinvertebrates in Manuel A. Roxas, Zamboanga del Norte
Utilized the BMWP-ASPT Index to evaluate water quality
Analyzed data using descriptive statistical tools
A total of twelve families of macroinvertebrates were recorded, with eight identified as indicator species.
BMWP-ASPT scores indicated good water quality in Piao, Dohinob Daku, and Dohinob Diut estuaries (4.16, 4.2, and 4.5), while Langatian scored 3.0, indicating moderate quality.
Domestic waste significantly impacts the water quality in Langatian, suggesting a need for regular monitoring.
