Canada-Ontario Lake Erie action plan : partnering on achieving phosphorous loading reductions to Lake Erie from Canadian sources.: En164-54/2018E-PDF

"Partnering on Achieving Phosphorus Loading Reductions to Lake Erie from Canadian Sources sets out an action plan for reducing phosphorus loadings to Lake Erie with the goal of decreasing the presence of harmful and nuisance algal blooms as well as the zones of low oxygen (hypoxia) that threaten both the ecosystem and human health. Based on robust scientific evidence, this plan includes cost-effective, high-impact actions that reflect a collective responsibility for environmental management. It includes a variety of federal, provincial and partner actions that need to be co-ordinated and implemented by all sectors and communities in the Lake Erie basin, organized into five categories: reduce phosphorus loadings; ensure effective policies, programs and legislation; improve the knowledge base; educate and build awareness; and strengthen leadership and co-ordination”--Executive summary, p. 4.
