Campus & Refuge Monitoring

Coastal Carolina University’s Campus Monitoring Program has collected valuable water quality monitoring data on campus for over two decades. Our goal is to assess water quality conditions in the stormwater ditches and retention ponds on campus, all of which eventually send waters off campus towards the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge and the Waccamaw River. In 2022, the Campus Monitoring Program expanded to include downstream sites in and around the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge (WNWR).
