The National Phytoplankton Monitoring Network (PMN) is a community-based network of volunteers monitoring marine phytoplankton and harmful algal blooms (HABs). Volunteers collect water samples on a bi-weekly basis from North Inlet and surrounding areas and meet at the Baruch Marine Field lab to examine the samples for the presence of harmful algae. Results are reported to the National PMN. This data creates a comprehensive list of harmful algal species inhabiting coastal marine waters and helps to identify general trends where harmful algal blooms are more likely to occur. Training on phytoplankton identification, sample collection, and lab equipment use is provided by reserve staff.

Roadside litter ends up as debris in our rivers, marshes, creeks and on our beaches. The North Inlet Clean Team is helping to prevent some of this litter before it has a chance to reach the North Inlet and Winyah Bay estuaries though periodic clean-ups along the highway adjacent to the reserve.
