"Creating Healthy, Natural Habitats for Freshwater Fish" Webinar Handout
This is a handout from our webinar, "Creating Healthy, Natural Habitats for Freshwater Fish". There are over 155 species of freshwater fish in Ontario. Freshwater fish are globally valued but threatened everywhere. Native fish populations are facing increasing threats from invasive species, pollution, and habitat alteration. Throughout various lifecycles, up to 90% of fish and wildlife species depend on a healthy shoreland for their survival.
"Creating Healthy, Natural Habitats for Freshwater Fish" webinar with Melissa Dakers
Community groups and local residents know the issues facing their freshwater ecosystems, but do not always have access to the education resources they need to take action. What if there was someone who could walk you through four different fish habitat restoration projects, showing you why they are important and providing you with the resources you need to lead a project of your own? Join Melissa Dakers of Watersheds Canada as she shares her years of expertise and experience in leading and delivering lake trout spawning bed, walleye spawning bed, in-water woody debris, and coldwater creek restoration projects. Walk away from this webinar with an understanding of the biological needs of common freshwater fish species and the threats they are currently facing, examples of successful projects, and free tools to take action on your own lake or stream.
