4th Annual 2007 Stream Assessment Workshops

The Basic Stream Assessment Workshop model was developed as a profession short course in the practical application of stream ecology concepts. Topics include stream health factors, watershed mechanics, sampling procedures, and implementation strategies. Instruction is provided by a team of specialists in the fields of program development and implementation, environmental education, water quality protection, aquatic biology, geomorphology, and chemical assessment.

The experience is consistent with a professional academic field course as opposed to a themed series of peer-based conference presentations. However, the workshop is structured in a “community of learners” fashion to take advantage of participant diversity. Participants should complete the workshop with a stronger technical skill set, and a plan for implementing a stream assessment program as part of a strategy for reaching broader environmental goals.
