EcoHealth Score Card for River Raisin: No Reason to Celebrate!
The River Raisin Watershed Council recently reported the results of the EcoCard Scoring by The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science as a success story. From my personal experience as a Biology Professor teaching Freshwater Ecology for the last 15 years, I do not find a score of 54% acceptable, and neither is the label "Moderate" or a C grade justified with a low percentage like 54%. In fact, in most college grading schedules, anything below 60% is a failing grade of E or F. As in education, weakening a meaningful scale just because a peer group scores evenly low is not an accurate quality measure.
