Abstract

For more than ten years, Riverkeeper has been advising, organizing, and assisting community scientists to collect fecal indicator bacteria data from tributaries to, and local waterfront areas of, the Hudson River. Riverkeeper’s community-based Entero monitoring started a regional movement. We and our partners have sampled the headwaters of the Hudson at Lake Tear of the Clouds in the Adirondacks, the kayak launches of New York Harbor, and many, many places in between. As of 2021, more than 50 academic, community and watershed groups have monitored approximately 400 locations in about two dozen waterways and waterfronts. Riverkeeper has relied heavily on these monitoring data in our state and local advocacy for clean water policies and funding, with success.
This dataset includes FIB and precipitation data collected from 2010-2021 from locations that were sampled for at least one year. Some of these sampling activities were managed by Riverkeeper, some by partner organizations, and some in combination. Partnerships are noted, but it is not possible to capture all partnership details in this spreadsheet. For more information, visit https://www.riverkeeper.org/water-quality/. Sampling and laboratory protocols and data quality checks are explained in the document titled Riverkeeper Protocols for Enterolert Sampling and Processing.
