The *EPA Sanitary Survey App for Marine and Fresh Waters
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.epa.gov/beaches/sanitary-surveys-recreational-waters__;!!Jh1S!hakHcXk9i0USu71UU_7kscI2s5DqO3DNDuwte-9FqLAnlVpZNZCMq3N-rF1jwBermx6ENpWcQgtqV4S_z6Kw9OZ6$>*is
a free tool hosted on ArcGIS Survey 123 that waterbody managers can use to
record waterbody data for evaluation. Users can record water quality data,
weather conditions, waterbody conditions, recreational activities, wildlife
observations, potential sources of pollution, harmful algal blooms, photos
of the site and other related information. Users may also export the data
they collected to analyze for use in predictive models and to inform
management decisions. The data is geolocated and can be mapped and
visualized. The app includes routine surveys that are useful for regular
monitoring as well as comprehensive annual sanitary surveys. There are
different surveys for marine waters and for freshwater lakes, rivers and
streams. Users can analyze the survey results to decide how to allocate
resources to help improve water quality and protect recreators’ health. The
webinar will include a demonstration of how to fill out the desktop version
of the Sanitary Survey App and how to use the Data Export Tool to create
spreadsheets and maps.



*Who should attend? *Anyone who monitors recreational waters! *Hyperlink
