About the event
The Musconetcong Watershed Association’s River Watchers program engages community scientists in hands-on monitoring to protect and restore our local waterways. Volunteers collect meaningful, science-based data that directly supports MWA’s restoration, advocacy, stewardship, and education efforts. Throughout the year, River Watchers participate in a variety of monitoring programs: Macroinvertebrate and Habitat Assessments held each spring and fall serve as an excellent introduction for new volunteers, while Road Salt Monitoring in winter and Harmful Algal Bloom and Bacteria Monitoring in summer address seasonal water quality challenges. STREAM Station Stewards contribute data year-round, creating a continuous record of river health. Together, these efforts build a robust historic dataset that strengthens MWA’s mission to ensure a clean, healthy, and resilient Musconetcong Watershed for both people and nature.
