The Coastal Watershed Council welcomes you to become a water quality monitoring volunteer! Training begins April 30th.

Come join the CWC's 17th annual Snapshot Day is the oldest and largest water quality monitoring event in the Central Coast. Snapshot Day is Saturday, May 7th at the San Lorenzo Park. During the event, hundreds of volunteers work as citizen scientists collecting water quality data from rivers and streams in Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties.

As a volunteer you will gain experience and skills in water quality monitoring stream by learning survey methods, sample collection and water quality parameter testing. Furthermore, you will get a chance to spend the day along some of Santa Cruz’s rivers and streams, having fun with fellow volunteers and competing for prizes.
