title: Mount Allison Phyto Lab Data

description: The Northumberland Strait Microbial Water Quality dataset is an archival collection of faecal loads in South East New Brunswick waters. Since 2017, we have been assembling historic microbial water quality data with an aim to generate a highly resolved and ongoing understanding of the sources, timing and fates of faecal contamination in the Shediac Bay and Northumberland Strait areas. The data comes in large part from Shellfish Surveys completed by Environment and Climate Change Canada. However, new data is continually being generated by various government agency, Non-Governmental Organization and citizen science sources and is scattered throughout publications, on different websites in various formats or being held by various government agencies. It is our hope that posting this data on an up-to-date, open-platform, public access service like DataStream will help researchers, managers and policy makers alike as they work to address the most probable sources of contamination in South East New Brunswick waters.

title: CIMP 211 Impacts of Permafrost Thaw Slump Extent, Severity, and Persistence on Stream Biotic Health

description: Our ability to monitor geomorphological, bio-geochemical and hydrological impacts of permafrost disturbances and
accurately map aerial extent and sediment displaced by slumping (and the affected downstream networks) has improved
over the past decade. These advances in understanding watershed scale effects of thaw slump disturbance create an
opportunity to investigate effects on aquatic health in a way not previously possible. Our project will use advances in
mapping and physico-chemical understanding of permafrost disturbance to fill substantial knowledge gaps associated
with the: (1) impact of thaw slumps on stream food-web dynamics; (2) persistence of thaw slump effects over time; and
the (3) effects of magnitude/severity of thaw slumps on biotic communities in streams. We plan to address these
knowledge gaps using a multi-tiered approach that includes assessment of environmental conditions.
description: Between July 29 and August 12, 2021, our team consisting of 1 MSc. Student, 4 Indigenous environmental monitors associated with the Tetlit Gwich’in Renewable Resource Council, and 1 GNWT colleague (Krista Chin) surveyed over 35 thaw slumps in the Stony Creek and Willow River watersheds and were able to sample a total of 27 stream locations in the Stony Creek watershed. A paired design was used, with reference sites located upstream of a slump and impacted sites located downstream of the slumps. Sites were accessed via helicopter or road. At each site, representations of each trophic level in the stream food webs were sampled the exception of fish, which will be sampled in 2022. Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network methods were used to collect benthic macroinvertebrates, water quality, and habitat measurements. Water quality parameters were quantified at Taiga labs and data will be uploaded to the Mackenzie Datastream by March 2022. Stable isotope analysis will occur shortly at the University of Waterloo Environmental Isotope Laboratory to investigate the structure food webs in thaw slump-affected streams. Taxonomic composition of benthic invertebrate data is currently being processed at Cordillera Consulting. Data analysis and preliminary results will become available in spring 2022 and will help guide year 2 of field sampling for the project.

title: LakePulse

description: The LakePulse Network performed a lake health assessment at the canadian scale. Launched in 2016 thanks to the funding of the NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) Strategic Partnership Program for Networks, LakePulse is an academic-government partnership that brings together 17 academic researchers from 13 Canadian universities, as well as eight provincial governments and two federal departments. Research interests were grouped under four research themes, with two to four projects within each theme. Approaches used in LakePulse include traditional, state-of-the-art and innovative methods in genomics, emerging contaminants, greenhouse gases, invasive pathogens, paleolimnology, spatial modelling, statistical analyses and remote sensing to answer the following main questions:

- How healthy are Canadian lakes?
- Is lake degradation widespread in Canada or worse in certain regions?
- Is lake health getting better, worse, or stable through time?
- How does land use and climate change affect lake health?
description: Many water quality variables were sampled. Most variables are sampled at each lake, while a few are sampled in half of the lakes, or some other fraction. Water samples were collected as an integrated sample from the photic zone (estimated as two times the secchi depth, to a maximum of 2 m), as a subsurface samples (~10 to 30 cm deep), in the littoral zone (within 10 m from shore) and from the hypolimnion (1 m above water-sediment interface in stratified lakes). Sediment cores are retrieved from the deepest point of the lake. Some measurements are also taken in-situ using a multiparameter sonde, as well as some team-specific optical instruments. Refer to Huot et al., 2019 for information about the variables selected and to the sampling manual for more details about the sampling protocols :

title: Four Rivers Water Monitoring

description: The Matawa Water Futures (MWF) project was developed through the Global Water Futures project to advance Indigenous-informed water science to support decision-making and water stewardship in the Matawa First Nation (MFN) homelands and traditional territories in Northern Ontario. The objective for the end of the MWF project is to hold a large water-themed gathering, inviting all MFN communities to attend to celebrate the value and sacredness of water, as well as share observations and scientific knowledge about the water, and share progress in water and environmental stewardship programs. 
A vital piece that has supported this project over the years has been the relationships built within our communities, as well as those relationships built with other nations and organizations. In keeping with this appreciation of fostering and maintaining relationships, we would like to extend an invitation to include Indigenous groups and organizations around Canada and beyond who are working in water and environmental initiatives or programs, overall advancing Indigenous stewardship within their own homelands. 
This gathering is an opportunity to: Share knowledge and learn from each other about water relationships, values and perspectives, as well as water & environmental stewardship practices and policies; and to Facilitate opportunities for collaboration and relationship-building.

RivTemp aims to bring together organizations concerned with water temperature issues in Atlantic salmon rivers; to centralize temperature data collected by different organizations on a variety of rivers in Eastern Canada (RivTemp database) and to develop thermal metrics relevant to the development of salmon protection tools and protocols. 
The establishment of the RivTemp network and its database was made possible by the financial contribution of the Atlantic Salmon Conservation Foundation (ASCF) and the participation of numerous partners active in the salmon river thermal monitoring program.
For more information visit http://rivtemp.ca/"
description: Temperature Data are DAILY Mean (for DAILY Min and Max visit http://rivtemp.ca/). 

The instruments used for water temperature measurement vary from station to station. However, Hobo Pendant (Onset) models are widely used at these stations. Some stations are monitored only during the summer months while others are maintained year-round.
description: The daily data were validated according to a series of automated procedures applied to the observed data (validations are made on the amplitude of the measured values and on the fluctuations between two observations) and to the calculated daily values (verification of the number of observations kept and of the average fluctuations of the measurements during the day). 
Despite these validation procedures, some erroneous data may still be present. RivTemp and its partners assume no liability for any action, error or omission, use, misuse or result arising from the use of this data or parts thereof.
