The Eastern Georgian Bay Stewardship Council in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Upper Great Lakes Management Unit – Lake Huron Office, are pursuing an ambitious agenda to rehabilitate the Moon River walleye fishery. (A copy of that plan is provided below.)
The centre-piece of the plan is a walleye spawning bed habitat enhancement project. This project is intended to greatly improve the reproductive success of Moon River walleye by expanding the quality and quantity of spawning habitat available. The project takes into account the highly variable flow regime on the Moon River throughout the walleye spawning and incubation periods. (A copy of the project description is provided below.) |
