Each year, the first rain event of the season washes urban pollutants off of the streets and into storm drains, eventually entering the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Critical Coastal Areas (CCA’s).
First Flush events take place up and down the coast from Carmel-by-the-sea all the way to Fitzgerald Marine Reserve CCA and Pillar Point Harbour (for the first time), tracking these pollutants. Your help is needed to collect water samples from storm drain outfalls in the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve Critical Coastal Area and Pillar Point Harbor.
There will be a training session/dry run taking place on Saturday, September 13, 2008 from 9:30 to noon at the Moss Beach Ranch Laboratory. 1862 Etheldore (RSVP for directions) RSVP or info: (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), San Mateo RCD and 650-712-7765
Sampling will occur on the first rain event of the season. Volunteers will be mobilized through a telephone tree.
