The Federation prides itself on science-based restoration. To enhance our understanding of the river, the South RIVERKEEPER® collects a battery of water quality data from 21 different sites around the River on a weekly basis. The data collected includes: temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen by depth, salinity, water clarity, and nutrients. In addition, we have a corps of Riverwatchers, trained volunteers who collect regular data on non-tidal sections of the River and report it back to the RIVERKEEPER®. South River Tidal Monitoring Stations
Become a South Riverwatcher:We are looking for volunteers to help sample sites around the watershed that complement the locations that the Riverkeeper regularly samples. Often times, these are non-tidal tributaries or areas that are difficult to access by boat. Training and sampling kits are provided by the Federation. If you would like to assist with this effort, please contact the South Riverkeeper at 410-224-3802.
