For 30 years, the U.S. EPA has issued the annual Charles River Report Card to report the recreational health of the Charles River. Based on our data collected by community science volunteers, the report card grades show the percentage of time public health hazards like E.Coli bacteria, sewer overflows, and cyanobacteria blooms impede safe recreation in four river sections and two tributaries, the Stop River and Muddy River.
Join the Charles, Mystic, and Neponset River Watershed Associations for a collaborative event where each group will reveal this year’s water quality grades and highlight the progress made toward cleaner rivers across Greater Boston.
