The Catchment Systems Thinking Cooperative (CaSTCo) is transforming how we monitor the state of our rivers. CaSTCo empowers communities who care about their river and brings together citizen scientists, river experts, regulators, and multi-sector partners to capture, retain, and share environmental monitoring data in a robust, independent, and consistent way.
Over the course of this initial phase, the programme has brought together over 30 organisations to co-develop a shared framework, principles, and tools for collaborative monitoring. These approaches have paved the way for nationwide citizen science and catchment monitoring standards, enabling targeted interventions where they will have the greatest impact.
Join us on 9th December to hear from the project team and see how project demonstrators and adopters of the framework have implemented the CaSTCo approach. Learn how collaborative monitoring and the CaSTCo approach is strengthening partnerships, growing engagement, and enabling more unified and integrated catchment monitoring. Find out about the resources, tools and guides available to support the development and implementation of collaborative monitoring in your catchment area.
