Annual Roundtable
The Maryland Water Monitoring Council organizes the Maryland Streams Roundtable to foster collaboration and cooperation among the many and varied groups sampling streams throughout Maryland. This gathering provides an excellent opportunity to learn where monitoring is being done and what's being sampled. The Roundtable is intended for professionals, non-profit organizations, and academic institutions monitoring streams. It serves as an opportunity for agencies, academic institutions, and groups to share what and where sampling will be done every year.
