Current Status
The current overall condition status of the Hermes Copper Species Indicator is Significant Concern based on consideration of the two metrics selected. In 2020, Hermes copper populations had disappeared from all but three sites occupied in 2010 (Metric 1) and the remaining populations dwindled to small numbers (Metric 2). Additional metrics will be developed in the future as more information becomes available.
