We were pleased to have been part of #CaSTCo, helping advance collaborative river monitoring across England and Wales.

As well as the new Impact Report, a companion document offers an ambitious vision for the future: castco.org/roadmap

Screengrabs and documents plus text: CastCo Data Governance Principles 1. Open by default 2. FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) 3. Trustworthy 4. Secure 5. User-centred 6. Ethical 7. Resilient

#CaSTCo (Catchment Systems Thinking Cooperative) brought together communities, scientists, the water sector and regulators to build trust, share data and transform how we monitor and care for rivers.

The project has made genuine progress towards rigorous, reliable #FAIRData 💧

Several photos of people and people sampling in rivers, plus the headline Putting people at the heart of river recovery, and four information points: 4.9 million citizen science datapoints shared openly 250k hours donated by citizen scientists, valued at more than £3million 132k locations monitored 35k volunteers, including approximately 18,000 who monitor monthly

The #CaSTCo project shows how community data can drive decisions on river management in England & Wales.

UKCEH co-led work on data management with Rivers Trust colleagues, developing CaSTCo Data Governance Principles & supporting best practice in citizen science.

I enjoyed working with the #CaSTCo #citizen-science community to learn about their needs (related to data; from collection to use). One of our outputs, was a set of data governance principles. Read more in impact report. @theriverstrust.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social

Panel about "Whose data we can trust?" Great to hear different perspectives on challenges and needs. #CaSTCo river citizen science data.

Alfie and Josh talking about the challenges of community citizen science data #CaSTCo @odihq.bsky.social

Lots of sharing citizen science experiences from across the individual river trusts @theriverstrust.bsky.social #CaSTCo

Fascinating panel about taking #CaSTCo river citizen science data roadmap ahead. Great to the themes in the questions from the audience about funding, lessons learned, trust etc.

Jesse taking us through the #CaSTCo citizen science roadmap @theriverstrust.bsky.social @ukceh.bsky.social for national consistent approach to citizen science data as trusted data to support decision making.

In Newcastle for #NWG25 festival of water innovation...great setting. Enjoyed visiting last year as part of #CaSTCo citizen science river/catchment data project

Taking part in the #GreatUKWaterBlitz today, with an added E.coli incubation social at Mum’s house. Bet none of you have been to an E.coli incubation social before! @earthwatcheurope.bsky.social #CastCo @waterrangers.bsky.social

It's so easy to drop a couple $100 and you're not even in the center yet!

I love #castco

On Tuesday I had a fun day with my #CaSTCo #citizenscience colleagues, including this session being led by the excellent and enthusiastic James Hawkins of the Wye and Usk Foundation on pros and cons of automated continuous and manual discrete samples. @theriverstrust.bsky.social

As part of the excellent new #CaSTCo #RiversTrust web site, there is a large knowledge base of methods, such as the #Riverfly Monitoring Initiative castco.org/knowledge-ba...
