Due to safety concerns associated with the ongoing pandemic, the 2021 MBSS spring training has been cancelled. For those of you currently certified in benthic macroinvertebrate sampling or benthic macroinvertebrate laboratory processing and subsampling, your certification has been extended for an additional year.  If you are currently certified, do not fill out this form.  For those of you who are not currently certified, but would like to become certified this year, please see below.

MBSS staff are working to develop alternative options for individuals interested in obtaining certification this year in either benthic macroinvertebrate sampling or benthic macroinvertebrate laboratory subsampling and processing.  This is not a registration form, but please use this form to tell us your interest in spring training and associated certification(s). We plan to use the results of this survey to guide us as we develop alternative plans.  We will email you as soon as possible with updated information once it becomes available.    

Email Jay Kilian (jay.kilian@maryland.gov) or Scott Stranko(scott.stranko@maryland.gov) with questions.

Complete this form for each potential REGISTRANT.
