Resources for conducting aquatic biomonitoring
The Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) is the national biomonitoring program developed by Environment and Climate Change Canada that provides a standardized sampling protocol and a recommended assessment approach called the Reference Condition Approach (RCA) for assessing aquatic ecosystem condition. CABIN provides the tools necessary to conduct consistent, comparable, and scientifically credible biological assessments of streams.
