Description

Want to learn about water quality and solve pollution problems in your area? Join Mobile Baykeeper's Bacteria Blitz Event sponsored by AM/NS Calvert on Sunday July 16th from 10:00 AM to 1:00PM to help track down sources of bacteria input in the Threemile Creek watershed. Learn how bacterial pollution enters our waterways, how it threatens habitats and people, and team up to go collect samples out in the field. We will also discuss AmeriCorps and other internship/job opportunities. Be sure to wear comfortable outdoor gear.  Volunteers will be tasked with traveling to a sampling site on or near campus, collecting water samples, and bringing the samples back to the lab. Volunteers will drive themselves (groups of 2-3) back and forth from the sampling sites, carpooling is encouraged.  Mobile Baykeeper will process the samples at their facility.

Goodie bags, snacks and drinks will be provided!

There will be waivers at the event that will need to be signed.

Meet us in the Earth Life Sciences Building, Room 131, first floor.
