CABW meeting on November 9 and 10
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2011 4:12 pm
Hello Everyone,
The CABW meeting on November 9 and 10 is just around the corner so I wanted to give you an update on the agenda. This year the CABW meeting will be organized into five sessions consisting of several instructional workshops and presentations covering the following topics:
Session 1 – Aquatic Invertebrate and Benthic Algae Sampling and Physical Habitat Data Collection
Session 2 – Aquatic Invertebrate and Benthic Algae Laboratory Analysis
Session 3 – Bioassessment Data Entry and Output
Session 4 – Ambient and Point-source Bioassessment Data Interpretation
Session 5 – Biological Objectives and Stressor Identification
Each session will have an introductory overview of the topic, updates on new developments and the opportunity for attendees to ask questions and discuss any concerns they might have on the topic. The idea is to make the CABW a training opportunity for everyone involved with assessing aquatic resources or administering bioassessment projects. I also hope to get input on possibly establishing workgroups where information can be distributed and discussed throughout the year.
I will be sending out a detailed agenda soon, but for now please be such to register and make arrangement to attend the CABW meeting on the UC Davis campus. Nancy Barker from UCD nlbarker@ucdavis.edu can send you the registration flyer and list of accumulations in the Davis area if you need them.
See you soon, jim
