Sierra Club Ontario is happy to announce the commencement of the second phase of McMaster Great Lakes research funded by the Sierra Club of Canada Foundation. The research examines the threats to coastal biodiversity due to changes in the hydrologic regime of Lakes Huron and Erie. The first report (see attachment below), summarizes their main year-one findings.
With continued Sierra Club sponsorship, the research team has just started a second season of tracking the Blanding's turtle, northern pike and as well as beginning a new project identifying muskellunge spawning and nursery habitat in Georgian Bay.
