Volunteer Opportunity: Help Monitor Water Quality with Snapshot Day – July 12

Coastside Land Trust is excited to share a fantastic community science opportunity hosted by the San Mateo Resource Conservation District. Join Clifton Hermann—who co-presented our recent Water Quality on the Coastside webinar—for Snapshot Day 2025 on Saturday, July 12, from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM.

Snapshot Day is the largest single-day water quality monitoring event in California, spanning from San Mateo County to San Luis Obispo. Volunteers will take field measurements like temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen, while water samples are collected for lab analysis. No prior experience is needed—training is provided, and all are welcome!

Your participation contributes to the long-term protection of rivers and streams that flow into the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
