Coordinated Aquatic Monitoring Program

The Coordinated Aquatic Monitoring Program (CAMP) was established in 2006 with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Province of Manitoba (MB) and Manitoba Hydro (MH). CAMP is a long-term aquatic monitoring program to study and monitor the health of water bodies (rivers and lakes) affected by Manitoba Hydro’s generating system. Monitoring began in 2008.

 

Design of the CAMP integrates components of existing MB and MH long-term monitoring programs and developed new components and sites to fill necessary gaps. The geographic scale of CAMP makes it the largest holistic, ecosystem-based aquatic monitoring program in Manitoba.
