On June 8, Clean Ocean Action met with Rutgers School of Engineering for a Navesink River site visit and initial sampling work by boat and land. Rutgers pulled water and sediment samplings for DNA and bacterial analysis. COA pulled additional water samples for an evaluation by Environmental Canine Services, LLC., an environmental consulting company that utilizes scent-trained canines to detect and track human waste in lakes, rivers, stormwater systems, streams and oceans.
