Watershed Watch Monitoring Schedules
- Weather permitting, monitor on
the same day each week between 10 AM and 2 PM on lakes and
ponds.
- For rivers, streams, and coastal
ponds, monitor every other week between 6 AM and 9 AM, weather
permitting.
- On Water Collection Days: lakes & ponds
- collect samples between 10 AM and 2 PM, earlier is better;
rivers, streams and coastal ponds - water collection is associated
with low tide so please see the list below for collection times.
After collection immediately bring the water samples and any
accumulated chlorophyll filters in a cooler with ice to the
URI Watershed Watch labs in the Room 002, Coastal Institute
in Kingston, URI.
- The URI Watershed Watch phone number
is 874-2905. CALL IN ADVANCE IF YOU MUST RESCHEDULE DELIVERY
OF YOUR WATER SAMPLES. Before the scheduled collection
period is better than after!

TO MAIL IN YOUR MONITORING POSTCARD AFTER EACH MONITORING SESSION.
- Have a great and SAFE monitoring
season!
Returning
Volunteer Refresher Training. These sessions include
demonstrations of monitoring procedures
and tips for ensuring that data and samples are submitted
according to the URIWW quality assurance project plans
and our State certification. Equipment is available
for pick-up after these sessions as well. Written
materials will be provided with 2012 monitoring supplies
which will be available for pick-up by returning volunteers
beginning the week of April 23, 2012. More information
about a refresher session will be available soon.
Please
be aware that Linda and Elizabeth will be out of the office
the first week of May, so returning volunteers really need
to call ahead to make arrangements to pickup your supplies.
