Volunteer Water Sample Program
Florida LAKEWATCH works directly with citizens who live on (or use) lakes, rivers or waterways and are willing to participate in a long-term monitoring effort. To become part of the LAKEWATCH team, volunteers are required:
- To have access to a boat
- Complete a training session which includes learning techniques for collecting water samples, filtering water to obtain algae samples, and taking Secchi disk readings (or water clarity readings)
- Collect samples monthly
- Deliver the frozen samples to City Offices
