ModMon Project
APNEP provided bridge funding for the ModMon project, which has been collecting and analyzing water quality on the Neuse River Estuary since 1994. The ModMon project, led by the UNC Institute of Marine Sciences, provides high quality, readily available data on water quality parameters in the Neuse River. These parameters can be used to evaluate the overall health of the river and address the modeling and monitoring needs for the Neuse River Estuary Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). The data collected are available on a continuous basis to government agencies and universities. ModMon also supports numerous undergraduate field trip experiences for universities.
