Volunteers doing field work collecting water samples in the Ventura River.

Stream Team

One of Channelkeeper’s longest running and most successful programs is our Stream Team citizen science program, which trains and engages volunteers to help us conduct monthly water quality sampling at 45 stream sites in the watersheds of the Goleta Valley, Carpinteria Valley and Ventura River.

View Data Portal

Our Stream Team data is used by government agencies to inform important pollution prevention programs and water resource management decisions. We’ve identified numerous pollution hot spots and sources through Stream Team sampling, and worked cooperatively with government agencies to get these problems cleaned up.
