b'Mote Staff Chemist Camia Charniga loves getting out on the ocean and rivers, even in rough weather, to monitor the \\u201chealth\\u201d of the water itself. Water clarity and quality, including nutrient chemistry, have an influence on seagrasses, fish and myriad other wild things we can\\u2019t live without. In this episode, Camia tells hosts Joe and Hayley how Mote\\u2019s water chemistry data help government institutions meet requirements for cleaner waterways. She also shares stories from the field, about a skittish gator, a curious manatee\\u2026 and a TROLL under a bridge? It\\u2019s not what you think!'
