Marine Water Quality Monitoring Mobile Microbiology Laboratory (Grand Falls - Windsor, NL)

Environment Canada scientists working at the Marine Water Quality Monitoring Mobile Microbiology Laboratory conduct marine water quality monitoring surveys in Newfoundland and microbiological analyses in support of EC’s responsibilities under the Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program. The ISO/IEC 17025-accredited microbiology laboratory, although mobile in the form of a 16-metre trailer, is an annual fixture in Grand Falls-Windsor as base for field operations. The lab also analyses sanitary wastewater from facilities to support wastewater system assessments for the Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program.
