Nelson SJ, Johnson KB, Schmitt CV. 2007. How Much is Enough? Developing a Citizen-Based Monitoring Plan for Mercury in Gauged Watershed Streams at Acadia National Park
Following taken from objectives of report: 'This L.L. Bean Acadia Research Fellowship project had three objectives: 1) develop a long-term monitoring plan for mercury in these watersheds that includes high school students as citizen scientists; 2) continue the long-term record of mercury data in paired research watersheds at Acadia National Park; and, 3) determine the appropriate timing and frequency of sampling to capture the essential data used to calculate mercury budgets in the watersheds.' ... 'and 4) assess the statistical difference between data collected by experienced research scientists and data collected by volunteer/citizen scientists.' ------------- /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Hadlock Brook Watershed/Cadillac Brook Watershed/
