About Bacteria Monitoring and Water Contact Risks
Blue Water Baltimore's WATERKEEPER Program monitors the Middle Branch and Northwest Branch ("Baltimore Harbor") of the tidal Patapsco River for bacteria between the months of April and November each year. The program monitors 30 sampling sites biweeky for Enterococci bacteria, a recognized indicator of human sewage contamination and public health risk from sewage-derived pathogens. More information.
