Multi-species action plan for the Richelieu River Watershed in Canada.: CW69-21/76-2024E-PDF
"The purpose of this multi-species Richelieu River watershed action plan is to assist in the recovery and conservation of 10 aquatic species listed under SARA, and 2 species assessed by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) in the Richelieu River. The plan targets the aquatic ecosystem in the Richelieu River watershed due to its importance to a large number of species at risk and the strong anthropogenic pressures that exist there. The plan sets out actions that will help improve the quality of the aquatic environment. … This action plan is considered to be 1 in a series of linked recovery documents that have a scope extending beyond the quality of the aquatic environment in the Richelieu River watershed. Other concerns for species at risk in the watershed include barriers to fish passage, the introduction of invasive species, decreased prey availability, the presence of host fish species, bycatch and climate change. This plan does not address these threats directly and therefore complements other programs and plans that recommend measures and approaches specific to these threats. …"--Executive summary, page iii.
