For our group, we follow standard protocols. We use OSAP as a base to collect standardized fisheries, channel data and thermal data from the stream. For forests, we'll do EMAN or salamander plots to look at the biodiversity of the forest and salamander population. We'll then do other formalized standard protocols for other tentative ecological research.
We don't produce a lot of technical reports, because we don't have the capacity. We are entirely volunteer-run and -operated, so we have enough trouble just trying to get people out to collect data.
We make the data available to other researchers and the local governments if they want it, and we try to encourage them to take it and use it when we have the ability to do that. We've provided our data to U of T, and worked with academics and Ph.Ds to produce scientific papers on the data we've helped to collect.
That's where we're trying to do the dissemination. It's through other organizations that have that capacity to get the information out there through academics and local schools, primarily like Centennial and U of T.
