Volunteers perform weekly water sampling at Bolsa Chica State Beach, followed by microscopy and chemical analyses. The results are tabulated and a small sample is sent to the California Department of Public Health every week. We also host field trips to educate the next generation about the importance of water quality.
See below for our upcoming collection dates and times. For any questions or to learn more, please email flow@amigosdebolsachica.org
Your involvement makes a positive impact on the environment and the community: we take care of it and it takes care of us. Think globally, act locally.

About Amigos De Bolsa Chica
Location:
P.O. Box 1563, Huntington Beach, CA 92647, US
Mission Statement
We advocate for the full protection of the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve and educate our community about its ecological value.
Description
The Amigos de Bolsa Chica is one of the oldest and most successful environmental preservation organizations in California. We rely upon members, volunteers and the community to continue fulfilling our mission.
The Amigos de Bolsa Chica is a 501(c)3 foundation that was formed in 1976 by a small group of Huntington Beach citizens who were concerned about the loss of a rare and valuable piece of open space, the Bolsa Chica wetland.
Over the years the Amigos have provided off-site programs and guided tours of the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve for thousands of school children and adults.
