Water Watch International

ECO-TOURS Explore The Back Bays On Board The "Sea Otter" WaterWatch International has provided guided eco-tours with various charter vessels from a seventy-eight foot replica paddle wheeler to various size pontoon boats. 

WaterWatch has partnered with the Atlantic Audubon Society to provide expert birding tours in the extensive Great Egg Harbor, Tuckahoe and back bay estuaries of Southern New Jersey.  These areas are some of the most highly sought after places to see migratory waterfowl, raptors and other avian species by people from all over the world.

Our shallow draft, fully air-conditioned 28 foot Adventure Craft (with toilet), the Sea Otter (pictured here), is available for individual or group chartered eco-tours.  Larger charter vessels are available upon request. 

SUSTAINABILITY Algal Turf Scrubber System Hydromentia  (Company pioneering in Sustainable Waste Water Systems)

WaterWatch International fully endorses sustainable technologies and has made many presentations over the years, teaching about the Algal Turf Scrubber System (ATS) in order to promote this cost effective, environmentally safe, "sustainable" technology.

The Algal Turf Scrubber System (ATS) as developed by Dr. Walter Adey, Director of the Marine Laboratory at Smithsonian Institute, has proved to be a valuable contributor to clean water through the process of recycling in regions throughout the United States from California to Texas and Florida.

It is a simple process by which blue green and filament algae is grown in a shallow bed and harvested a regular intervals to achieve maximum absorption of pollutants such as phosphates, nitrates and heavy metals.  The use of attached algae, ATS, for nutrient removal from stream water is a very good and effective application of the process.
