We have six locations on the peninsula where we monitor water quality and post results into Auckland Council via Waicare - you can check results here (and they will soon be available on this website).

Starting with Achilles Reserve and Vauxhall School we work with groups from local Kura to think about where litter comes from, measure acidity, and oxygen levels, find insects and other stream life, check pollution levels of nitrates, nitrites and sulphates and monitor stream health through using our senses and checking the temperature.

This is citizen science that children can participate in, recording the changes happening in our environment as a result of local climate events and other influences, and learning how they can support good stream health.

These initiatives are supported by Whitebait Connection
