| Two
different ESNERR monitoring programs track water quality in the
Elkhorn Slough area. The volunteer program, running since 1988,
provides superb spatial coverage; 24 stations are sampled monthly.
The NERR system-wide program, operating since 1995, offers excellent
temporal coverage. In this program, water quality data is collected
every 30 minutes at four stations along the main Slough channel
and weather data is collected every 30 minutes at one station
on the Reserve. |
