Tidal Monitoring
in Back River

What do we test for? During our routine monitoring, we test each location for the presence of fecal bacteria, specifically, E. Coli, in Back River.

What are fecal bacteria and why are they important? Members of two bacteria groups, coliforms and fecal streptococci, are used as indicators of possible sewage contamination because they are commonly found in human and animal feces. Although they are generally not harmful themselves, they indicate the possible presence of pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria, viruses, and protozoans that also live in human and animal digestive systems.

The Back River Restoration Committee is the leading force in Baltimore County for preserving the cleanliness of Back River and its waterways, from the Pennsylvania line down to the Chesapeake Bay. Their passion for protecting our waterways draws countless volunteers to their cleanups. Whether you join a shoreline cleanup or attend a fundraiser, you’ll see their dedication and hard work in action.Lynne H. M.

Wow! Participating in my first cleanup event with the Back River Restoration Committee was truly inspiring. Over 150 volunteers, from all walks of life, came together to clean. It was amazing to see even the youngest kids helping out, learning the value of giving back. We cleared out everything from tires and furniture to countless plastic bottles. While the effort was impressive, it’s a reminder that we all need to take better care of our community.Leah B.
