Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration

This report assesses the water quality of UCSB's Campus Lagoon using multiple parameters and its ability to support aquatic life. In July 2011, the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration (CCBER) completed an assessment report on the water quality of the Campus Lagoon based on data collected from various surveys conducted over a five-year period (2006 – 2011). Here we present an update to the 2011 report with new data obtained from a recent (Dec. 2015 – Feb. 2016) survey of the quality of storm water run-off in the lagoon watershed and inclusion of data from a data sonde installed between 2009 and 2011.
