Dry Run: Saturday, September 13, 2014 at 9 a.m. – noon

Participate with the Coastal Watershed Council in the on-going community effort to monitor the water flowing off our streets into the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary during the first significant rain of the wet season.  Volunteers monitor specific storm drains during the first initial runoff.  Volunteers will be trained to collect water samples that are sent to a professional lab, and to monitor water temperature, conductivity, ph and transparency at the storm drains.  Please plan to attend both trainings.
