About this organization
Mission
To protect, restore, and enhance the waterways, wetlands, and associated uplands of Anchorage
About
. The citizens' environmental monitoring program (CEMP) continued in its 21st year. Each volunteer water quality monitor spends approximately 60 hours/year testing creeks, taking photos, incubating fecal coliform tests and counting the resultant colonies, and filling out data sheets to report their results. Anchorage Waterways Council (AWC) was asked again by the Anchorage Audubon Society to perform fecal coliform tests on Connors Lake because of concern for the nesting loons that return there every year. Cuddy Pond, which had high fecal coliform counts when tested, was monitored after some BMPs (best management practices) had been installed. These have been effective in reducing fecal coliform levels dramatically. The monofilament (fishing line) collection program has partnered with a University of Alaska Anchorage biology class to empty the bins and return the monofilament to a company for recycling into fish habitat. To date, over 1000 miles of used fishing line have been recycled.
