Coastkeeper launches interactive database Residents who want to sound off about local watersheds — anything water-related in their region — now have new opportunity. Late last month, San Diego Coastkeeper launched an interactive water monitoring and watershed database system. According to Coastkeeper officials, the database makes data about the watersheds freely available and easier to understand. It also features discussion boards, a repository for beach bacteria level information and a forum to track water quality violations. The site is completely fueled by public participation. More information about San Diego Coastkeeper and the database are located at www.sdwatersheds.org.
