What's a Watershed? Unfortunately, Many Don't Know

"Nearly half of our population does not know what a watershed is; let alone which one they live in. This means there's also a good chance that many are unaware of how their actions contribute to water pollution and habitat destruction." - excerpt from this National Wildlife Federation web page.

The Coastal Factoid is usually updated each weekday.
