-The majority of samples are collected by the Program with guidance from the STEW, according to the associated Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and Monitoring Plan. All QAPPs, monitoring plans, and related documents are compiled in the `Program’s Document Library (coming soon!)`. `Also see the FAQ for more information on this step`.

 Additional samples are collected by water utilities, Federal Energy Regulation Commission (FERC) relicensing, and other governmental and non-governmental organizations.
 
 ## (2) Sample Analysis
 
-The samples collected by the Program with guidance from the STEW are generally analyzed by Moss Landing Marine Laboratories\' (MLML) [Marine Pollution Studies Laboratory (MPSL)](https://mlml.sjsu.edu/mpsl-mlml/) and/or contracted to other certified laboratories, according to the associated Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and Monitoring Plan.
