Volunteers with the Florida SpringsWatch program conduct monthly sampling at Jackson Blue Spring. Our Jackson Blue Spring group collects data for the following parameters: temperature, dissolved oxygen, specific conductance, and vertical light attenuation. In addition to water quality monitoring, this group also conducts visual fish counts within the spring. A mask and snorkel are required, click here to learn more about common fish found in the springs! The SpringsWatch program is a great way to get out to the springs, learn, and volunteer.

*Groups with a wait list are at capacity and are currently not accepting new volunteers. If you wish to select one of these groups, we suggest applying for an additional group with no wait list to ensure you are able to participate in sampling as soon as possible. Apply for as many as you like!
Sampling at select groups is currently postponed due to safety concerns surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak. Sampling at these groups will resume as soon as it is safe to do so!
