This extensive report covers water quality, fish species including consumption guidelines, measures of the biodiversity (via benthos and eDNA sampling) and compares our lakes to others in Muskoka.
Did you know that ninety percent of all aquatic life depends on the area where land and water meet for at least part of their lives? In addition, natural shoreline buffers have robust underground root networks that protect both the stability of the shoreline and water quality by filtering and purifying water before it enters a watercourse. As lake residents, we can make a positive impact by keeping shore areas natural.
The OLRA again thanks the team at the Georgian Bay Biosphere for compiling this year’s report.
