Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) Guidelines Workshop, Summary Report (DIAND, February 2009)
2009Report
Final Aquatic Effects Monitoring Program (AEMP) Guidelines Workshop Summary Report — INAC Water Resources Division, October 21-22 2008 (final version February 25 2009). Same distribution as the Draft. Adds discussion of enforceability for human-health concerns, early-warning levels and adaptive management triggers, and the integration of Traditional Knowledge (TK) — emphasizing TK should be obtained at the pre-baseline stage rather than later, because AEMP is largely written as a western-science process. Elders and scientists should both be involved early.
