We have re-opened the fundraising . We successfully raised the original sum required- thanks to all who donated. We want to expand our testing to other local rivers and the estuary. The estuary requires different equipment that can test sea brackish water. There will also be an ongoing need for consumables as we expand the river coverage. Please do mention to anyone you think might be interested.
