A Citizen's water Quality Monitoring Program for the Albermarle-Pamlico Estuary Grant uri icon

abstract

  • The Citizen's Monitoring Network is designed to continue baseline monitoring of the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuary System by private citizen volunteers. Specifically, volunteers monitor dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, and air and water temperatures, as well as turbidity to gauge the quality of water in the estuary. In addition, the program coordinator will continue developing citizen awareness of environmental issues and the public's role in environmental policy.
