The diagram lists potential indicators for the Ohio River Basin that were generated at the workshop. The goals listed in this diagram are representative of the things people value in the Ohio River Basin watershed.
Potential Indicators for the Ohio River Basin
Gutters and downspouts installed onto buildings direct rainwater from roofs to rain gardens. Plants with deep root systems encourage stormwater infiltration and absorbs excess nutrient runoff.
Multiple Benefits of Rain Gardens
Mnemiopsis leidyi is a species of tentaculate ctenophore originally native to the western Atlantic but is now invasive in the Black, Caspian, North and Baltic Seas

Perennial native plants like the bee balm (Monarda didyma) are recommended for rain gardens, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The red color attracts hummingbirds and pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies.

Perennial native plants like coneflowers (Echinecea) are recommended for rain gardens, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. They attract birds and pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies.

Anemones are voracious eaters. Stinging cells (nematocytes) on their tentacles parlyze small prey. Photographed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Anemone
Moon jellyfish, named for their translucent, moonlike circular bell. Moon jellies have a short, fine fringe (cilia) that sweeps food toward the mucous layer on the edge of the bell. Prey is stored in pouches until the oral arms pick it up and begin to digest it. Photographed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Moon jellyfish (Aurelia labiata)
Sea nettles hunt by trailing tentacles and mouth-arms covered in stinging cells which paralyze and capture prey, moving them to the mouth where they can be digested. Photographed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Sea nettles (Chrysaora fuscescens)
Purple-striped jellies mysteriously appear near the shores of Monterey in certain seasons. Young cancer crabs are often found clinging to these jellies, even inside the gut. The crab helps the jelly by eating parasitic amphipods. Photographed at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

The Bugaboos are in the Northern Purcell Range in British Columbia. BC Parks has installed clothes lines as a means for campers to store their food out of reach of Snafflehounds (a term for any species of rodent that inhabits the alpine).
