Volunteer
Requirements
- Water quality monitoring
requires a time commitment of one to two midday hours once per
month in the winter, and twice per month in the summer (April to
August).
Volunteer Training
Volunteers do not need any
prior experience in water quality monitoring. Volunteers receive
both classroom and field training. Trainings are held in both
the spring and fall. Please check
online calendar for upcoming
training dates. Volunteers are provided with a detailed
monitoring procedures manual and all the necessary monitoring
equipment and supplies.
Monitoring schedule
Monthly (twice a month April
- August) monitoring includes collection of water samples for
later nutrient and phosphorus analysis, as well as on-site
measurement of pH, Dissolved Oxygen, temperature, conductivity
and E. coli.. These measurements are made using provided field
kits. On designated water collection days, volunteers collect a
set of water samples and bring them to the Cook Inletkeeper
laboratories. On these days they also receive replacement
equipment and supplies as needed.!
