Meta Identifier	MCDPW_invert
Type of Data	Macroinvertebrate sampling and habitat surveys
Originator	Marin County Department of Public Works
Description	Benthic macroinvertebrate surveys were conducted in four Marin watersheds using the California Stream Bioassessment Procedure (CSBP) protocols developed by the California Department of Fish and Game. In addition, physical habitat quality was assessed for the monitoring reaches using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Rapid Bioassessment Protocol. In each watershed, sampling stations were located in a range of possible stream environments. All sites were sampled in September 1999 and April 2000 except for sites which were dry during the September sampling. See report for details.

Purpose	To provide baseline information on the macroinvertebrate assemblages with the four watersheds. To evaluate the biological and physical/habitat condition of various sampling sites within the four watersheds. To provide recommendations and strategies for continued monitoring and the use of volunteer monitors.
Data Quality Information	The associated report states that in general the data collected from the four watersheds showed remarkable consistency between replicates.
Use Constraints	The IBI ranking used was developed for first to third order Russian River tributaries. Use in this study may be appropriate due to the proximity of these watersheds to the Russian, although there may be limited use in the lower most sites.
