Sampling Protocols
Standardized monitoring protocols are used by all consortium partners to ensure data compatibility and scientific rigor across the statewide network. Extensive training is done prior to each field season including classroom and field based training. Each consortium member develops training materials that are specific to their survey regions. You can find these training materials here.
