The Long Range Transport of Air Pollutants (LRTAP) Biomonitoring Program conducts broad-scale surveys on over 600 wetlands and lakes in north-east Ontario and 46 lakes in Kejimkujik National Park, Nova Scotia, to monitor the chemical and biotic response of sensitive aquatic ecosystems to reduced inputs of acidifying emissions. An important part of this program, the Canadian Lakes Loon Survey (CLLS), uses a network of volunteers to assess the breeding success of common loons (a key indicator species) on larger lakes across Canada. This report describes the Biomonitoring Program's study design and components, study areas, and data collection and characterisation procedures, and includes detailed physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the biomonitoring study lakes and their locations. Information is also provided for a subset of more intensively studied Food Chain Monitoring Program lakes and CLLS lakes.
