The Severn Sound Beach Monitoring program monitors the environmental quality of Severn Sound public swimming areas to assess quality for beach closings. Thirteen public swimming areas are monitored by SSEA and five sites are sampled by Parks Canada staff on a weekly basis during the summer. Sampling consists of taking indicator bacteria at each site and recording other information such as temperature, pH, weather conditions, bather load and preceding precipitation.
