Field Protocols for Sampling Stream Physical Habitat and Riparian Vegetation

• BLM’s Assessment Inventory and Monitoring (AIM) lotic field protocol and training videos
• Aquatic and Riparian Effectiveness Monitoring Plan (AREMP)
• EPA’s National Wadeable Rivers Stream Assessment (NRSA)
• EPA’s National Boatable Rivers Stream Assessment (NRSA)
• PacFish/InFish Biological Opinion (PIBO)
• BLM’s Multiple Indicator Monitoring (MIM) of Stream Channels and Streamside Vegetation was developed to provide information necessary for managers, landowners, and others to adaptively manage riparian resources and primarily to monitor impacts of livestock and other large herbivores on wadable streams (usually less than 10 m wide).
