“What gets measured, gets managed” is a great way of understanding the importance of our weekly water quality monitoring program. 15 volunteers work together each week to provide this invaluable data, and as shown, unfortunately, there are some elevated bacteria levels in our local waters. We are going to start a new effort with some guidance from the EPA to perform “source tracking” to determine if the bacteria is coming from humans or animals. Neither is good, but if it human waste, then it means we have to escalate the problem for timely resolution.
The summer education events are upon us and we are super excited to share with everyone the results of the past five years of our hands-on education activities and results. It is amazing to see that what started as single event has become an effort that has educated thousands of students across Aquidneck island and beyond! Thank you to all the volunteers, donors, family foundations, staff and partner organizations that have allowed us to foster environmentally responsibility for the next generation of ocean enthusiasts!
