Whether you’re a seasoned Water Reporter or just curious about getting involved, this gathering is for you! Join us for an engaging and inspiring introduction to Water Reporter—our community-powered effort to document changes in the watershed and help protect Casco Bay.
Using their smartphones, volunteer Water Reporters capture observations of riverine and coastal changes, such as algal blooms, erosion, sea level rise, pollution, and wildlife sightings. These reports provide essential data to help safeguard the health of the Casco Bay watershed.
