In addition, a team member designed a brochure on the watershed, which the team distributed. Also, the Appoquinimink team is so far the only one to involve students in the process - a group of five middle school students designed and administered a survey to hundreds of parents to see what they perceived as the major pollution problems in watershed and which actions they believed would reduce pollution the most.

Despite these efforts, attendance at its single forum was modest, but the team is moving ahead, drafting pollution-control strategies that they will discuss with the citizens during another forum. After that forum, and after making any revisions, the team will present strategies to the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.
