Monitoring Indicators and Protocols

Reach-Scale Effectiveness Monitoring Protocols (revised 2008):
These protocols describe the current methods and monitoring approach for each of 9 categories of habitat restoration projects funded by the Salmon Recovery Funding Board. They were updated in 2008 and are significantly improved and clarified as compared to the original versions of the same protocols. These protocols form the basis for the ongoing Reach-Scale Effectiveness Monitoring program funded by the Salmon Recovery Funding Board.
