Thursday, October 6, 2005, 20 Chapter members and friends met at Gangplank Marina (600 Water Street, SW) in the Washington, DC Marina. They plied the waters of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers on the "Half Shell" boat - a classroom on water! They tested the water and sediment to observe and discuss water quality and related issues in a watershed nearly 14,000 square miles. They discussed sewage treatment, bridge construction, and many other uses in this urban area. Twenty Chapter members participated in this interesting event. Following are photographs from the day. |
