Maryland Coastal Bays

Water Quality Monitoring Project for Volunteers

Category: Submerged

Cost: Information not provided.

Description: The goal of the program is to engage the local citizens in the determination of the quality of water/eutrophication of the Bays, as well as provide baseline data for implementation of the CCMP.

Outcome: The program has been successful so far, but funding is needed for laboratory analysis of the samples taken. "Water Quality in the Coastal Bays," 1997-99 has been drafted as a result of this project.
