Santa Monica Bay Watershed Monitoring - Collaborative Effort (2009- present)
The RCD, in partnership with Heal the Bay, has initiated a collaborative effort to map the locations of water quality (and other aquatic resource) monitoring within the Santa Monica Bay Watershed.
Purpose of Project:
The objective of this project is to create a map that shares the locations (and associated metadata) of all aquatic monitoring efforts in the Santa Monica Bay watershed with local stakeholders and the general public. This effort will enhance collaboration between monitoring groups, by providing watershed-wide information that will allow groups to reduce the duplication of their monitoring efforts and fill data gaps in the watershed.

How to Parcipate:
If you are an agency, organization, university, etc. who collects data related to freshwater aquatic systems in the Santa Monica Bay watershed, we invite you to participate in this collaborative mapping effort. This project will only be successful if all researchers participate! Please contact Sandra Albers at salbers@rcdsmm.org for details on how to get your monitoring locations on this map. If you would like to see the actual data collected at the monitoring locations depicted on the map, please contact the appropriate agency, whose contact information is available in each location’s informational bubble.
