About the Annapolis River Guardians
The Annapolis River Guardians program is one of the longest running and most extensive volunteer-based water quality monitoring programs in Eastern Canada. Started in 1992, the program has involved over 100 volunteers who have collected more than 4000 water samples. The River Guardians are all residents of the Annapolis River watershed and come from many different backgrounds.
With over 25 years of data, the program has contributed significantly to our understanding of the Annapolis River watershed. Some issues facing the watershed include fecal contamination, shoreline erosion, high summer water temperatures, low levels of dissolved oxygen and high levels of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus.
