Love A Sea Turtle held a training day for teachers to learn to use their new equipment for our Neuse River Guardian project. Judy Day, a Vernier representative, helped us learn about LabQuest 2 and its components. Everyone’s ready to put all of this new water science equipment to good use!

Today, we went back to our River Quest route and performed water testing at 8 sites from Goldsboro to New Bern.

With the M.E.N. and W.O.M.E.N. groups, we recently toured the Contentnea Metropolitan Sewerage Plant with Mr. Smithwick, District Manager, who discussed the entire wastewater process. We also took river water samples above, at and below the facility and tested for pH level, nitrate, phosphate, dissolved oxygen and turbidity.
