Text on the left side of the image reads, Let's get started! Learn about all of the ways you can contribute data to the Chesapeake Water Watch project. On the right is a vertical image of a phone with the screen showing a section of the HydroColor App. At the top of the screen, there is a graph, titled Carr's Wharf 1, showing the relationship between reflectance (y-axis) and wavelength (x-axis), with a blue data point, a green data point, and a red data point. Looking at the data points from left to right, the graph shows growth at the beginning, and then a plateau. Below the graph is a partial table with the following data: Date: 05/06/21; Time: 10:24:54; Turbidity: 22+-8 NTU; [SPM]: 21+-8 g/m^3
