The Damariscotta River estuary is the backbone of our local economy. It offers incredible recreational opportunities and supports diverse and abundant wildlife. This invaluable resource is monitored on a regular, on-going basis by Coastal Rivers through a citizen-science water monitoring project.

Hear from Sarah Gladu, Director of Education and Citizen Science, and Kathleen Thornton, Research Technician at the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center, who will discuss estuarine conditions and share observations made from their analysis of Coastal River’s water quality data.
