In this module, designed for 6-12th grade classrooms, students investigate the water quality characteristics of an estuary (water temperature, salinity and oxygen), the relationship between these parameters, and the effect that water quality has on spawning migrations of the Atlantic sturgeon. With 5 different level worksheets and a teacher’s guide. |

Water Quality Criteria
EPA developed criteria for surface water quality that accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge on the impacts of pollutants on human health and the environment. It also has criteria for aquatic life and other water quality resources. The Water Quality Portal (WQP) is a mechanism for anyone to retrieve water monitoring data from EPA. Water Quality Data |

Monterey is known for having unpredictable algal blooms. In the past, researchers could tell when there was a harmful bloom only when hundreds of sea lion carcasses and dead seabirds washed up onshore. But today, there are easier ways to actually predict a HAB event. Can you save the sea lions from the next HAB event? Try your hand at predicting the next algal bloom! |
