The harbor watch water quality monitoring program was founded in 1986. Since then, it has grown to include a state certified water quality laboratory, three research vehicles, and an award winning reputation. Its field and lab work follows epa approved quality assurance project plans. The goal of harbor watch is to: provide the people of connecticut with the data, knowledge, and field expertise necessary to safeguard our waterways, educate our communities about watershed issues, and train volunteers and student interns through hands-on research. Harbor watch has steadily expanded its geography from long island sound to ridgefield, and greenwich to stratford, working with town public works departments to help pinpoint the source of sewage leaks. Funding for the harbor watch program consists mostly of grants, corporate foundations and donations.
