Water Quality Monitoring Program

San Diego Coastkeeper’s Water Quality Monitoring Program strives to:

  • supplement the limited water quality data resources available,
  • protect sensitive ecosystems,
  • identify and abate pollution sources,
  • track the effectiveness of pollution prevention plans and
  • prevent further degradation of our precious water resources.

We achieve these goals by engaging hundreds of dedicated citizen volunteer water monitors, providing useful water quality information to the general public, and partnering with a wide variety of regulatory agencies, academic institutions, businesses and non-profit organizations.
