Title:
Citizen Monitoring of the Coastal Environment: Baywatch of Mobile Bay, Alabama (1991-1993)
Description:
Abstract:
The Water Quality Act of 1987 established the National Estuary Program, which has as one of its objectives the formation of citizen groups for monitoring the quality of coastal waters. One such group that formed to monitor Mobile Bay was called Baywatch. Under the guidance of Dr. George Crozier of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL), and in association with the Mobile Field Office of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), citizens were trained to collect and analyze water samples once a week between 10am and 2pm for 50 stations located in the Mobile Bay delta, Mississippi Sound, Weeks Bay, Perdido Bay, and several local streams. Parameters measured included water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, air temperature, and rainfall. Water temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen were measured from both surface and bottom waters where possible.
Purpose:
To provide a better understanding of the processes affecting the waters of coastal Alabama.
Supplemental_Information:
DISL and ADEM were responsible for coordination of data collection and distribution of information to the public. Additional support was provided by the Marine Resources Division of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, the Mobile County Environmental Studies Center, and the Auburn University Marine Extension and Research Center.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Air temperature was measured in Celsius but some are in Fahrenheit. Secchi depth was measured in meters but some might be in centimeters. Water depth was measured in meter but some might be in centimeters. Water temperature was measured in Celsius but some might be in Fahrenheit. Hydrometer readings should be recorded as 1.XXXX where the final number is always 0 or 5, but many readings are four digit numbers without decimals. Values were not corrected. Some numerical data became formatted as text when converted to Microsoft Excel. Time of sampling were recorded in a variety of formats. No latitude/longitude data are available, and site names of sampling locations may become difficult to recognize over time.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
N/A
Completeness_Report:
Data were collected in 1991, 1992, and 1993 by volunteers with a variety of background training.
Lineage:
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Monitors went through a training session before beginning sample collection. They were provided with a field methods manual, equipment and supplies, and forms. Water samples were not preserved. After sampling, form originals were kept by the monitor, and a carbonless copy mailed to the program manager office. Data were entered into a dBase file and quality-checked.
