abstractOn Friday November 4th, 2022, the Bow River Basin Council in partnership with Living Lakes Canada hosted a Community Science Workshop: Biomonitoring in the Bow. It was an opportunity for anyone interested in biomonitoring and community science to connect with one another, learn about biomonitoring, and develop new collaborative opportunities. Most of the presenters focused on the Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) protocol, with some discussion on STREAM (Sequencing the Rivers for Environmental Assessment and Monitoring), which utilizes eDNA metabarcoding technology of benthic macroinvertebrates for biomonitoring.
