If you are already collecting monitoring data as an organisation or community group or want to start, the CaSTCo framework can help you to ensure your data and monitoring plan adhere to robust criteria and principles and can be used by others, leading to better information on our river catchments and better decisions being made. Please have a look at the resources in the Knowledge Base for guidance.

If your organisation or project already abides by CaSTCo principles and you would like to share your story, you can request to be added to our map.

If you’re a group interested in starting to undertake community monitoring we encourage you to find out what’s already happening within your catchment of interest. CaSTCo is centred on collaboration and open sharing of data to improve access to information for all, and to do this it’s important that activity is aligned to existing monitoring. Engage with what is already happening in your area through the Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) website
