The Dip-In* is open to anyone who monitors water. By participating, you will be contributing to one of the world's largest all-volunteer water quality monitoring efforts.

To participate you'll need to take a Secchi reading between June 26 and July 18, 2004 and complete a data sheet. Be sure to read the Dip-In Instructions* prior to taking your sample.

Data can be submitted online* or via the Lake Stewardship Program. by contact Beth Cullen. (If you submit your results online, the Lake Stewardship Program Number is 282.)
