Introduction The Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, in conjunction with the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan have prepared the following Natural Heritage Report to identifY the natural heritage system for the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory. Preparation of this plan may possibly lead to the development of a Natural Heritage Strategy, which will help protect and improve habitats, and the overall natural health of our community. 1.1 Background The International Joint Commission listed the Bay ofQuinte as an Area of Concern in 1985, due to severe water pollution problems and loss of habitat. These problems, called Impaired Beneficial Uses (IBUs), included the "degradation offish and wildlife populations" and the "loss offish and wildlife habitat". To restore these IBUs, the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan was established and a number of recommended actions developed to protect and restore fish and wildlife habitat and the populations that depend upon them. The Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan Restoration Council 2001-2005 Work Plan identified the need to complete Natural Heritage Strategies for all areas bordering the Bay of Quinte. The Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan and Lower Trent Conservation have partnered to develop a Natural Heritage

Summer 2013 Editors Note: This report does not constitute publication. Many of the results are preliminary findings. The information has been provided to assist and guide the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan. The information and findings cannot be used in any manner or quoted without the consent of the individual authors. Individual authors should be contacted prior to any other proposed application of the data herein. PREFACE BAY OF QUINTE REMEDIAL ACTION PLAN MONITORING REPORT #22 2011 PROJECT QUINTE ANNUAL REPORT (Summer 2013) In 1985, the Great Lakes Water Quality Board of the International Joint Commission (IJC) identified 42 Areas of Concern in the Great Lakes basin where the beneficial uses were impaired. The Board recommended that the appropriate jurisdictions and government agencies prepare, submit and implement a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) in each area to restore the water uses. The Bay of Quinte was designated as one of the Areas of concern. Ten of 14 beneficial uses described in Annex 2 of the Great lakes Water Quality Agreement (revised 1987) are impaired. The impaired uses include beach postings, eutrophication or undesirable algae, restrictions on fish consumption, taste and odour problems in drinking water, etc. The contributing factors are excessive phosphorus loadings, persistent toxic contaminants, bacteriological contamination, as well as alterations and destruction of shorelines, wetland and fish habitat. Project Quinte is a long-term, multi-agency research and monitoring project.

  • Outlook for Break-Up of Ice on the St.Lawrence Seaway & Lake Erie Issued by the Canadian Ice Service
    OUTLOOK FOR BREAK-UP OF ICE ON THE ST.LAWRENCE SEAWAY & LAKE ERIE ISSUED BY THE CANADIAN ICE SERVICE Issued by Canadian Ice Service of Environment and Climate Change Canada Prepared for The Saint-Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation 2 February 2021 CURRENT CONDITIONS Average temperatures over Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and the Seaway have been well above normal values consistently since the start of the ice season in early November until near the end of January. At the end of January, temperatures were near to below normal. The highest temperature anomalies occurred in the second half of December and first half of January. The table below indicates the departure from normal temperatures at specific locations, on a bi- weekly basis, for the period from mid-November to the end of January: November December January 16 Nov. – 16-30 31 Jan 01-15 16-31 01-15 16-31 Montreal +2.0 ºC +4.0ºC +4.1ºC +6.8ºC +0.9ºC +3.6ºC Kingston +2.8ºC +2.3ºC +3.2ºC +5.4ºC +1.0ºC +2.9ºC Windsor +1.5ºC +1.3ºC +2.0ºC +4.3ºC +1.4ºC +2.2ºC Table 1: Departure from normal temperatures With the warm conditions experienced through November across the southern Great Lakes (Erie and Ontario), no ice formed in November. The first ice was recorded on December 16th in the Bay of Quinte and in sheltered bays in eastern Lake Ontario, which was a week earlier than normal. In Lake Erie, the first ice was seen a week and a half later, on December 26th, in line with climatology.

  • Quinte Region Water Budget, and to Initiate Discussions About Drought Management Plans
    1 | P a g e Summary Planning for drought in Ontario has become of increasing concern due to the recurrence of droughts, increased development pressure, and anticipated impacts from climate change. Previous work by Quinte Conservation has identified the region to be vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Some of this vulnerability can be attributed to the high percentage of Quinte Region residents (50 percent of the population) that rely on private wells for water supply. These wells are supplied by a shallow fractured bedrock aquifer with low storage capacity requiring regular replenishment from precipitation to maintain adequate levels of supply. In 2016, a widespread historic drought was experienced in the Quinte Conservation watershed and across Eastern Ontario. During this event, groundwater levels and wells experienced historically low levels with many residents’ wells running dry. Farmers struggled to find alternative supplies to sustain crops and livestock, rural fire protection sources dried up, and low river levels resulted in damaged fish habitat. Municipalities that rely 100 percent on private wells had difficulty obtaining alternative sources of water for their residents. Learning from the 2016 experience, Quinte Conservation recognized the need to develop a drought management plan that would help local municipalities mitigate and adapt to drought. With the support of municipalities within its watershed, Quinte Conservation obtained funding through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). This funding has been used to improve monitoring to deal with drought, assess the potential impacts of climate change, and prepare the following as a drought management plan. This plan provides an overview of the background information about the Quinte watershed and past impacts from drought.

  • The Right to Fish in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory Word Count
    The Right to Fish in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory Word Count: 4160 Teyohá:te Brant Dalhousie University First Nations experience a unique, and often challenging, political position in Canada. With attention to the Mohawks of Tyendinaga, I will demonstrate how Mohawk, and Haudenosaunee people collectively, are born into an ancestral political system that governs and defines people’s worldviews and actions. While Haudenosaunee political thought is a worldview that exists in constant tension with the Indian Act, it is one that has not been lost. I outline The Great Law of Peace, a political system shared by the Haudenosaunee peoples pre-existing European contact in North America. I illustrate the Nationhood exercised by Mohawk people, post-contact and pre-confederation, with attention to the Two Row Wampum belt, a treaty established between the Mohawk people and Dutch settlers. In elucidating the intersections between the Canadian government and Mohawk autonomy, I examine the struggle to confirm spear-fishing rights for the Mohawks of Tyendinaga. I provide a historical account of how the right to spear-fish in Mohawk territory that extends beyond the reserve was restored. I then move to explore the case of Eliza Sero, a Tyendinaga Mohawk woman who sued a government official for the confiscation of her fishing net. I contrast the outcomes of the cases to illuminate that justice may be attained when a First Nation recognizes their ancestral rights as more powerful than the restrictions imposed by the Canadian Government. Attention to the connections between the past, present, and future is a philosophy interwoven into the Great Law of Peace, an ancestral constitution to govern the Haudenosaunee peoples.
