Evaluation of habitat restoration activities for species at risk fishes within Crown Marsh (Long Point Bay) . : Fs70-6/2016-056E-PDF
"Dredging has occurred in Long Point Crown Marsh to remove the invasive common reed (Phragmites australis). Crown Marsh is home to at least 34 fish species, five of which are species at risk. There are concerns that the creation of open-water ponds may negatively impact the species listed under the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA), and may function as ecological traps. Currently, it is unknown how species at risk respond to the creation of ponds in Crown Marsh. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) undertook a 3-year monitoring program in Crown Marsh. The goal of the monitoring program was to compare and characterize the fish assemblages and habitat conditions in the constructed sites to reference sites. This was in addition to assessing the value of the habitats for species at risk and determining approaches to maximize the value of the ponds to species at risk"--Context, p. [1].
