Wofford JE, Demarest ED, Voshell JR. 2018. SHEN Benthic Macroinvertebrate Monitoring SOP 14: Equipment Cleaning Procedures and Practices for Biosecurity, version 1.0
This document gives instructions for disinfecting gear that has come in contact with stream water and also provides some common sense measures to maintain clean gear in the field. This SOP was developed in direct response to increasing concern regarding the spread of Didymosphenia geminate (didymo) but pertains to other aquatic exotic species as well. Care must be taken to prohibit poor equipment hygiene, which can transfer exotics quickly as individuals/crews move between water bodies in the park.
