Shoreline Bugs and Lake Health

Shoreline Bugs and Lake Health

Show notes

It turns out that the presence of tiny creatures making their homes at the water’s edge can tell us a lot about water quality and the health of adjacent shorelines. And, as we know healthy shorelines are essential to the water quality of Haliburton’s incredible lakes, streams and wetlands.

Recently, The U-links Centre for Community Based Research, headquartered in Minden, partnered with six Lake Associations across Haliburton County to study shoreline aquatic invertebrate populations. Over time, a database of the results will provide another means of assessing and tracking changes to shoreline health and water quality.

To hear more about “benthos biomonitoring” and its use in protecting and improving lake water quality, join me, Terry Moore, on the next Planet Haliburton episode for a conversation with Brendan Martin, the Aquatic and Biomonitoring Project Co-ordinator with U-Links and Jim Prince, the Vice-President of the Kennisis Lake Cottage Owners’ Association.
