Citizen Monitoring Program
BE A VOLUNTEER
Anyone can be a good volunteer monitor! No special background or experience is required. Our volunteers come from all walks of life – from teenagers to senior citizens. The common characteristic they have is their interest in helping protect their watershed.
Volunteers devote less than one hour per week from April to October to conduct water testing at their assigned site, usually at or near their home. During the remainder of the year, testing is done at less frequent intervals.
For more information about becoming a volunteer, email us or call 302.645.4252.

Water testing on Indian River Bay is always really hard work. You can see by their tired worn out expressions. Shown in photo from left to right: AG Robbins, Jerry Weinberg, Shea Farestad, Muns Farestad and Chance Weinberg. Photo was taken by Ted Weinberg (not in shot).
