The Siuslaw Chapter has started collecting water samples for testing at the South jetty, North jetty, the Siuslaw river and, the Heceta beach drainage near Driftwood shores. Larry Brammer designed and built the device that attaches to a fishing pole to hold the water sample bottles when collecting water from the ocean, good job Larry. We have the samples tested at the Siuslaw Watershed Council Lab in Mapleton. This all takes place the 3rd tuesday of every month, and soon we'll be posting the results.
