5 Years of Benthic Invertebrates in the McLeod River Watershed

The Athabasca Watershed Council (AWC) has spent the last five years collecting and understanding benthic invertebrates in the Upper McLeod River watershed with support of the Eastern Slopes Aquatic Monitoring Collaborative. Each year, AWC staff trained in the Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) protocol collected benthic invertebrates by using a standardized three-minute kick-net method. The samples were preserved and shipped to Calgary for taxonomic analysis. ABI Environmental has completed all the taxonomic work over the five-year project and will present their findings in this webinar. The AWC is grateful to John Swann and Diane Edwards with ABI Environmental for their valuable contribution to this project.
