Why volunteer water quality monitor? Volunteers do this because they want to help protect waterways near where they live, work, or play. The data collected is often used to supplement information collected by state and local resource management agencies. These agencies use the data to identify potential problems; to inform restoration efforts; to establish baseline conditions for waters that would otherwise go unmonitored; and to evaluate the success of best management practices (BMPs) designed to mitigate problems.

The Island Apple Snail is a highly invasive aquatic species from South America- someone in Mobile had them as pets and released them into Langan Park lakes! These snails have no natural predators, lay egg masses that contain up to 2,000 eggs, and destroy native vegetation!
