Project Quinte 2017 Report
The Bay of Quinte is fortunate to have one of the longest-running research and monitoring programs in the Great Lakes system. Project Quinte a co-operative multi-agency research and monitoring project between the federal (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) and provincial (Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change).
This partnership has investigated the long-term effects of reduced phosphorus loadings on the Bay’s ecosystem. This includes researching and evaluating the Bay’s biological, chemical, and physical attributes before and after phosphorus control was implemented at municipal sewage treatment plants. As well, researching and monitoring have focused on fish populations, submerged aquatic vegetation, zooplankton and phytoplankton, Zebra Mussel colonization, and a host of other water quality indicators.
Lake Ontario Lakewide Action and Management Plan 2017
The LAMP is developed and implemented by the Lake Ontario Partnership, which is led by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Environment and Climate Change Canada and which facilitates information sharing, sets priorities, and assists in coordinating binational environmental protection and restoration activities.
