I’ve worked with Mary Jo Wevers at ABA for over 25 years. Throughout that time ABA has provided excellent service providing timely processing of aquatic macroinvertebrate samples while I was a manager of the biomonitoring section for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, and for work I’ve performed as an independent consultant. Mary Jo and ABA have been a pleasure to work with and continue to provide excellent service and results.
