Benthic Invertebrate Neonicotinoid Monitoring Study

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks started the Multi-Media Monitoring Study in 2015, in support of Ontario's Pollinator Health Action Plan, to measure changes in neonicotinoid insecticide concentrations in the environment following restrictions on the use of neonicotinoid-treated corn and soybean seeds. This data includes: * locations of 22 sampled stream locations * environmental attributes of the catchments draining to these locations * a table of counts of collected aquatic invertebrates The other components of the Multi-Media Monitoring Study (stream water and soil neonicotinoid concentrations) are available separately.
