Save The Bay needs eyes and ears on the water! If you live, work, or play on the shores of Narragansett Bay or our southern coast, then you can help Save The Bay by submitting your observations using the WaterReporter app. While anyone can use the app, Save The Bay needs trained observers who know what to look for and can be called upon to document events such as a fish kill or wastewater spill. More information on the program can be found here.
This training will go over the following:
How to use the WaterReporter app - this app allows you to take photos that are automatically geotagged, uploaded into Save The Bay's database of observations, and shared on the Water Reporter network.
What to look for - we will go over the types of observations that are especially useful for Save The Bay, such as erosion problems, fish kills, public access issues, and pollution discharges.
Our social media calendar - we have a social media campaign where every month we will encourage users to submit photos on certain topics - like wildlife, straws on the beach, fun in the sun, etc.
Pizza will be served. All participants will receive a copy of Save The Bay's Uncommon Guide to the Common Life of Narragansett Bay and RI Coastal Waters.
