California Water
Quality Monitoring Collaboration Network Participant:
Join the California Water Quality Monitoring Collaboration Network and
Orange County CoastKeepers Ray Heimstra, from your own workspace for a
1-hour Webinar session Orange County CoastKeeper: Redefining the Realm
of Citizen Monitoring. The webinar will be on April 21, from 11:30 AM
-12:30 PM (noon). Please see the instructions below to join the webinar.
Orange County CoastKeeper:
Redefining the Realm of Citizen Monitoring The Orange County
CoastKeeper, founded in 1999, is a non-profit organization dedicated to
the protection and preservation of the marine habitats and watersheds
of Orange County through programs of education, restoration,
enforcement and advocacy. CoastKeeper works with business, developers,
cities, elected officials and regulatory agencies to develop solutions
to the problems of polluted urban runoff.
CoastKeeper tries to collaborate with a variety of stakeholders in
seeking solutions that are good for Orange County and protect coastal
resources. They work to identify and stop polluters, using litigation
if necessary; however, they believe that solutions that are good for
the environment are also good for business. They strive to build a
community approach to watershed management, with the intent of avoiding
future conflicts, and agreeing on solutions that meet broad societal
goals. Ultimately their hope is to increase the likelihood of
sustaining long-term environmental improvements.
This Webinar will focus on their work that does not fit into the
traditional view of what a citizen monitoring program is. It is hoped
that this Webinar will broaden the view of what can be done through
citizen monitoring and creative collaborations.
Ray Hiemstra is the Associate Director of Orange County CoastKeeper
where he has worked for 10 years on water research and policy issues.
Ray has degrees in Geography and Environmental Studies from Long Beach
State and lives in Huntington Beach. He is a member of the Newport Bay
Watershed, and the Orange County Nitrogen Selenium management
committees along with the LA/Long Beach Harbor Safety Committee. Ray
has been the Project Manager for several projects contracted by the
