This novel watershed survey utilized key components of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection watershed survey process, which targets nonpoint source pollution, and the Maine Department of Marine Resources sanitary shoreline survey process, which targets point sources of bacterial pollution. The survey was coupled with water quality monitoring at Seal Harbor Beach through the Maine Healthy Beaches (MHB) program.
