ORCA’s Kilroy Network allows scientists, as well as community members, to monitor an extensive array of water quality data including water temperature, depth, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, fluorescent dissolved organic matter, oxidation reduction potential, turbidity, chlorophyll a and blue‐green algae phycoerythrin (BGA‐PE) as a measure of blue‐green algae, continuously in ~30‐min increments as well as nutrients (nitrate, nitrite and orthophosphate) in 4 hr increments, year round. 

Several Kilroy stations are also equipped with meteorological sensors, which monitor wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and rainfall. Additionally, ORCA has recently begun integrating air quality monitoring stations into the network. 

Together with ORCA’s Ecotoxicity and Pollution Mapping Programs, the Kilroy Network plays a crucial role in identifying harmful constituents and tracing the sources of pollution that are threatening the Indian River Lagoon’s delicate balance.
