Managing water quality with regard to microbial contamination is a critical challenge for coastal managers nationwide. How these challenges unfold changes from one region to the next. Choosing the right approach depends on local need, cost, ease of use, capability of the end user, and the accuracy of the results. On one point, however, water quality managers from any state can agree—there is no silver bullet that will fix the problem. That’s why CICEET sponsors the research and development of a variety of emerging approaches to address this issue, and has made microbial detection a priority in its current request for proposals.
