Clean Beaches and
Streams
Summer 2004
Water Quality Monitoring Program
The Clean Beaches and Streams Program trains volunteers to help monitor water quality by collecting samples from prioritized shoreline sites (stormwater outfalls, coastal streams, etc.). Samples are then submitted to labs for bacteria testing.
Testing is conducted every two weeks at the designated sites. The results are then shared with the watershed's municipalities as well as the public. Click the links below to view a report for a particular date:
