This scientifically valid data from local streams provides important data to regional watershed managers, while empowering local citizens to understand their watersheds. CBWQ monitoring protocols are based on Environment Canada’s Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network standards (CABIN). The CBWQ has been primarily funded by Columbia Basin Trust since 2007. This project would not be possible without the continuing funding from the Trust. The project would not be possible with short-term incremental funding.

We will assist watershed groups across the Basin with access to scientific and funding resources for projects through our website, database, and our new Science Advisory committee. We will engage member groups through a series of subregional dialogues to seek opportunities for collaboration on priorities and resources. We will actively support members and partners in promoting their educational and training activities.

The Regional Monitoring System supports this by providing: a standardized approach to monitoring priority issues at the regional scale; tools for communities to collect, store, and retrieve their data; coast-wide data to compile and compare for use by communities; and support to communities to use the information in planning and decision-making. The issues currently being monitored reflect priority concerns expressed by communities regarding damage to cultural sites, over-use and over-fishing, declining populations of fish and wildlife, and the inadequate presence and response of enforcement agencies. Coordinated monitoring efforts mean that First Nations have stronger relationships with resource users, an enforcement presence in the region, a solid baseline of data for planning, management, and decision-making, and a clear case for conservation. | http://coastalguardianwatchmen.ca/regional-monitoring-system OR http://www.coastalguardianwatchmen.ca | WITH REQUEST OR CONDITIONS | No | private server | Each First Nation owns their own data.

Our immediate goals are to continue to conduct water monitoring of Columbia Lake, maintain best water sampling practices to ensure accurate and defensible data collection and build a database of water data to allow comparison of current conditions to recorded baseline as a means to measure potential effects. Work to date includes water quality monitoring since 2014 and documenting these results in our annual reports. We are happy to report that Columbia Lake’s water quality is healthy. A water quantity monitoring program was initiated in 2015 to measure flow into and out of the Columbia Lake and also lake level (the lake level is largely determined by these flows and varies through a range of nearly one metre during the course of an average year). In addition, our volunteers are investigating ways to determine the contribution of groundwater to Columbia Lake. | http://columbialakess.com | YES | public portal/hub | http://columbialakess.com/reports/ | data in tables in reprorts available on line | Water Temperature, Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, Clarity (Secchi), Turbidity, TSS, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, Total Disolved Phosphorus | water level; freeze/thaw records | Provincial Govt (RIC) for sample collection; Monitoring Guidelines to Evaluate Effects of Forestry Activities on streams in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska by L.H.

In the summer of 2012, the City of Coquitlam initiated the first year of water quality monitoring on the Coquitlam River to help build a current set of water quality data. The data will be used to monitor the health and integrity of the Coquitlam River and to help guide future activities and decision-making processes in the watershed. Samples were collected on a weekly basis during the dry and rainy seasons at seven sites along the Coquitlam River, from just below the Coquitlam River Dam to the downstream end of Colony Farm. The 2013 results showed that twelve out of thirteen parameters tested achieved a ‘green level rating – another year of positive and promising results. The City will continue the program in 2014. | http://www.coquitlamriverwatershed.ca/river-watch | http://www.coquitlamriverwatershed.ca/sites/default/files/Coquitlam%20River%20Water%20Quality%20Testing%20Sites.pdf | Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Temperature, Turbidity, Conductivity | Nitrate, Chlorophyll A | Iron, Lead, Cadmium, Copper, Lead, Zinc | E.
