Texas Stream Team
Texas Stream Team is a network of trained citizen monitors and supportive partners working together to gather information about the natural resources of Texas and to ensure the information is available to all Texans. Currently, hundreds of Texas Stream Team citizen monitors collect water quality data on lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, bays, bayous, and estuaries in Texas. More information.
Report as FR: TPWD and check the Texas Waters Specialist box on the form if you have taken that training.

CoCoRaHS
The Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network is a unique, non-profit, community-based network of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds working together to measure and map precipitation (rain, hail and snow). Find it at CoCoRaHS.
By using low-cost measurement tools, stressing training and education, and utilizing an interactive website, the aim is to provide the highest quality data for natural resource, education, and research applications. Few citizen scientists are reporting in our Chapter area. You can make a difference.
Web-based training on CoCoRaHS research protocols and methods is approved as advanced training for Mid-Coast TMN members. Report your training as AT: Specific-Project. Volunteer service hours on the project can be reported monthly as FR: Other Partners.
