Exploration of Watersheds with Daniella Rodriguez, Education and Outreach Coordinator at Shaw Institute of Blue Hill, Maine.<\/p>\n

The Shaw Institute has been conducting coastal monitoring for over 15 years, testing popular beach sites around the Blue Hill Peninsula for harmful algal blooms, fecal bacteria, and other sources of pollution. By analyzing water samples and creating phytoplankton, participants will learn how pollution and nutrient runoff impact them and discover how they can create positive change.<\/span><\/p>\n
