2015 Chester River Report Card

Abstract

In 2015, the Chester River received an overall grade of C+. CRA's Chester River Report Card is the product of tremendous volunteer effort and scientific analysis. The Chester Tester Citizen Scientists collect data at 27 stream sites twice monthly, year round. Our Riverkeeper and Watershed Manager collect samples from the mainstem of the Chester River from Eastern Neck Island to Crumpton. Samples are processed via established scientific protocols and grades are calculated using methods developed by the Mid-Atlantic Tributary Assessment Coalition (MTAC). If you have any questions regarding the Report Card, please contact CRA Watershed Manager, Tim Trumbauer (<a href="mailto:ttrumbauer@chesterriverassociation.org">ttrumbauer@chesterriverassociation.org</a>)
