Friends of SC Adopt-a-Stream
South Carolina Adopt-a-Stream empowers community members to protect and improve water quality through education and certified volunteer monitoring. Volunteers attend free workshops across the state to learn to monitor freshwater streams, tidal saltwaters, lakes, and macroinvertebrates. Their data establishes baseline site conditions, increases community awareness and engagement, and sparks investigation with local partners when pollution threats emerge.

Funds support monitoring equipment for volunteers, workshops, and program outreach. Contributions in any amount are appreciated. Visit our website or contact scaas@des.sc.gov to learn more.
