Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve

02 Oct, 01 AM - 29 Oct, 10 AM

Santa Barbara Channelkeeper is partering with the Cate School in Carpinteria to conduct a citizen water quality monitoring project for the Carpinteria area. Each month, student volunteers from the Cate School will access stream and wetland locations under the supervision of Cate School faculty or Channelkeeper staff to collect water quality measurements and samples. Water will be tested in the field using electronic meters for the following parameters: Conductivity, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature. Water samples will be analyzed for indicator bacteria (total coliforms, E.coli, and enterococcus) and nutrients (nitrate and phosphate). Channelkeeper follows a State approved Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) to conduct citizen monitoring. All data is submitted to the State Water Board and local agencies on a regular basis and is made fully available to the public.
