Ventura Stream Team sampling events take place quarterly\, usually on the first Saturday of the corresponding month\, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Pizza and soft drinks are served afterwards. We meet at the corner of Julian St. and West Main Street in Ventura (approximately 239 West Main St.\, for Google Maps). \nStream Team volunteers use portable meters to test in-stream parameters such as temperature\, dissolved oxygen\, pH\, turbidity\, and conductivity. In addition\, samples are collected that are later analyzed in the laboratory for bacteria and nutrients. Visual observations such as weather conditions\, algae coverage\, water clarity\, odors\, and trash are also recorded on standardized datasheets. \nStream Team data is used by government agencies\, environmental organizations\, and other watershed stakeholders to help protect the watershed and the species that depend on it.\nThe goals of SBCK’s Stream Team Program are to collect and disseminate data to measure the health of local streams; identify and abate specific sources of pollution to these streams; measure trends or changes resulting from pollution prevention efforts; and foster environmental stewardship in our community by providing a rewarding outdoor volunteer opportunity for local citizens. Our ultimate goal is cleaner\, healthier water and a more environmentally responsible citizenry that is actively engaged in addressing the pollution problems plaguing our waterways. \nNew volunteers are always welcome and training will be provided. We do not recommend this activity for children under the age of 6. Children between the ages of 6 and 14 should be accompanied by a guardian. If you would like to attend\, please RSVP via email to ben@sbck.org or call SBCK at (805) 563-3377 ext.5.

Getting your hands in the soil? Changing public policy? Then volunteer with us! We have monthly meetings every 3rd Tuesday at 6:30pm at our Ventura Surfrider office (872 E. Front Street\, Ventura\, CA 93001). \nWhat’s the problem? Urban runoff is the #1 source of ocean pollution. In Ventura\, storm drains and farm runoff funnel into the ocean un-treated\, polluting our water with motor oil\, fertilizer\, and other contaminants during heavy rain. Click here for more info about the causes of pollution. \nThe solution: Homeowners\, businesses\, and public entities can all help prevent this runoff by turning their landscapes into Ocean Friendly Gardens.
