Volunteers are the backbone of our program – the Secchi Dip-In couldn’t exist without them and we sincerely appreciate the time, knowledge, and skills each volunteer donates to Secchi Dip-In efforts!
Water bodies around the globe can only realistically remain clean via the sampling and outreach volunteers perform throughout the year. We’d like to thank volunteer organizations and programs who submitted data to us in 2015:
