Monitoring Plans

The Babine Watershed 2015 Annual Monitoring Plan describes the tenth year of monitoring activities by the Babine Watershed Monitoring Trust.  It sets out the year’s budget, lists high-priority monitoring projects, describes projects approved for direct funding, and identifies topics requiring additional funding. The plan provides for a synopsis and rationale for each approved project.

These three documents also set out the process used by trustees for determining monitoring priorities.
