Water Quality Monitoring 2021
Both new and returning volunteers met with Friends of the Bay staff for our first two training sessions on water quality monitoring on April 14 and 20. Our volunteers were trained on water quality data collection and equipment usage.
We officially started collecting data and water samples on Monday, April 19 and will continue until the last Monday in October, weather permitting. We will post weekly data as it becomes available. Reports can be viewed and downloaded from the water quality data page found under the Monitoring Tab.

Peter Janow and our volunteers were not the only ones monitoring Mill Neck Creek water quality this month. Peter caught a picture of this regal eagle.
