This report documents field activities, results and examines feasibility of applying various wetland biological monitoring techniques that were tested by Bird Studies Canada at numerous Lake Erie (Long Point) coastal wetalnds during a multi-partner, one-year pilot project done during 2002. While several wetland taxa monitoring techniques were examined, the focus of this report was to document and examine the use of Marsh Monitoring Program survey protocol as a long-term biomonitoring technique to include into a future monitoring program framework for determining the biological integrity of Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Bird Sudies Canada's Marsh Monitoring Program is committed to continuing to monitoring Great Lakes coastal wetland health.
