[See Appendix 2] 7. MONITORING [Infill with information in Appendix 3] 7.1 PREAMBLE Monitoring is an activity that is required year round, if an authority is to be fully prepared for management of blue-green algae. However, the monitoring should be scaled according to the location and the risks of algal bloom. Incident or regular visual surveillance may be all that is required at some times or in some locations where the risks of algal blooms are low but frequent (weekly) monitoring may be required at the outlet of a large water supply reservoir. Staff should be trained professionally in the field sampling including collection, transportation and delivering samples. Samplers should also be trained in the process of visual surveillance and recording. 7.2 SITE LOCATION AND FREQUENCY Site ID Site Name and Description Risk Monitoring Regime 8 RESPONSE [This section should be filled out for each water body in the system, though some common elements will exist using framework in Appendix 4 and 5] – 8.1 WATER BODY 1 Incident Organisation and Management Framework Resources Deployed to the event Sign Deployment
