The morning of Wednesday, June 6 marked Week 52 of the Navesink River Water Quality Monitoring Program, which means that a full year of water quality sampling has been completed and over 900 water samples have been collected. The following evening, four citizen science volunteers and two COA interns were trained in water quality sampling protocol by Bill Heddendorf (NJDEP) at Red Bank Library.
The following Wednesday, June 13 marked the first week of sampling in Year two of the program, which also meant adjustments to sampling locations. Four additional sites are now included in the water quality sampling: two in Rumson and two in Red Bank. The changes to the sampling locations will allow COA and NJDEP staff to better identify sources of poo-llution in the Navesink River.
