Navesink River Citizen Science Spotlight: Chuck Hunnewell

The impressive commitments of the Navesink River volunteer citizen scientists are essential to the Water Quality Monitoring Program’s success.  Meet Chuck Hunnewell from Red Bank, NJ, who is this month’s Spotlight. He has spent 45 years doing geologic and environmental consulting work which included conducting hydrologic assessments, geotechnical foundation engineering, environmental assessments and corrective actions.

Between 1981 and 1984, he worked for NJDEP’s Division of Water Resources, Bureau of Water Supply & Watershed Management where he was a Senior Geologist. Now Chuck spends his time at Monmouth Boat Club where he is an avid sailor of the Navesink River.
Though it has been quite a while since he was last in the field performing actual hands-on field sampling, Chuck has picked up his passion yet again through the Navesink Water Quality Sampling program.  Thank you Chuck for your dedication to the Navesink! Learn how you can become a citizen scientist at COA's upcoming trainings at Monmouth Beach Club on Sept. 9th & Oct. 3rd at 5:30pm.
