On April 21, 2001, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS) was to celebrate Earth Day with a one-day, Sanctuary-wide volunteer water quality monitoring event, “Snapshot Day.”Trained volunteers were to wade into creeks, streams, rivers, sloughs, estuaries, and surf throughout San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Luis Obispo Counties to test water quality and take a “snapshot” of the condition of the Sanctuary’s watersheds. The first such event was held last year.
