Water Quality Monitoring

    

Join a citizen-based water quality testing team! Help protect and restore Marin's creeks and Tomales Bay.

SPAWN surveys creeks and tests water quality in the Lagunitas Watershed through a partnership with the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

SPAWN volunteers collect water samples from creeks in the watershed, which are home to federally `threatened' coho salmon, steelhead trout and countless other species plus 3,300 humans. Volunteers will be trained in water quality sampling techniques, creek safety and data collection.

The Watershed is currently officially listed as `impaired' by the Regional Water Quality Control Board for sediment pathogens, and nutrients.
