  • Recovery Strategy for Northern Riffleshell, Snuffbox, Round Pigtoe, Mudpuppy Mussel and Rayed Bean in Canada
    Recovery Strategy for Five Ontario Freshwater Mussels December 2006 Species at Risk Act Recovery Strategy Series Recovery Strategy for Northern Riffleshell, Snuffbox, Round Pigtoe, Mudpuppy Mussel and Rayed Bean in Canada. December 2006 Recovery Strategy for Five Ontario Freshwater Mussels December 2006 About the Species at Risk Act Recovery Strategy Series What is the Species at Risk Act (SARA)? SARA is the Act developed by the federal government as a key contribution to the common national effort to protect and conserve species at risk in Canada. SARA came into force in 2003 and one of its purposes is “to provide for the recovery of wildlife species that are extirpated, endangered or threatened as a result of human activity.” What is recovery? In the context of species at risk conservation, recovery is the process by which the decline of an endangered, threatened or extirpated species is arrested or reversed, and threats are removed or reduced to improve the likelihood of the species’ persistence in the wild. A species will be considered recovered when its long-term persistence in the wild has been secured. What is a recovery strategy? A recovery strategy is a planning document that identifies what needs to be done to arrest or reverse the decline of a species. It sets goals and objectives and identifies the main areas of activities to be undertaken. Detailed planning is done at the action plan stage. Recovery strategy development is a commitment of all provinces and territories and of three federal agencies — Environment Canada, Parks Canada Agency and Fisheries and Oceans Canada — under the Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk.

Chronological Events Natural Heritage Values 2000-2012 Cultural Heritage Values Recreational Values Thames River Integrity Guidelines Executive Summary Executive Summary The Thames River nomination for inclusion in the Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) was accepted by the CHRS Board in 1997. The nomination document was produced by the Thames River Coordinating Committee, a volunteer group of individuals and agency representatives, supported by the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) and Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority (LTVCA). The Thames River and its watershed were nominated on the basis of their significant human heritage features and recreational values. Although the Thames River possesses an outstanding natural heritage which contributes to its human heritage and recreational values, CHRS integrity guidelines precluded nomination of the Thames based on natural heritage values because of the presence of impoundments.

They are commonly categorized as alluvial with a glacial legacy, and often described as simple gravel-bed or sand-bed rivers. Alternatively, they are classified as bedrock rivers because the glacial deposits have been eroded and the underlying rock is exposed.

  • Aquatic Ecosystem Recovery in the Thames River Watershed
    Aquatic Ecosystem Recovery in the Thames River Watershed INGRID TAYLOR Thames River Recovery Team, Upper Thames River Conservation Authority, 1424 Clarke Road, London, ON, N5V 5B9, Canada, email [email protected] Abstract: The Thames River drains 5285 km2 of land and is the second largest watershed in southwestern Ontario. Most of the watershed is in the Carolinian life zone, making it one of the most biologically diverse aquatic regions in Canada. The Thames River hosts 25 aquatic or semi- aquatic species at risk as designated by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC); these include 12 fish species, 7 mussel species, and 6 reptile species. A recovery team was formed in 2002 that consists of representatives from federal and provincial agencies, First Nations groups, conservation authorities, and the University of Western Ontario. This diverse team has taken on the challenge of developing an ecosystem-based recovery plan for this large aquatic ecosystem, which is also situated in a highly developed urban and rural sector of southern Ontario. The associated urban and agricultural land uses contribute to siltation, nutrient and toxic loadings, altered water flows, thermal pollution, dam and barrier impacts, and exotic species invasion, all of which are identified threats to populations of the aquatic species at risk. The Thames ecosystem approach has already demonstrated success in communication and education about species at risk, and in habitat stewardship and restoration efforts. Success has also been made in forming new partnerships with the First Nations of the Thames and in coordinating efforts with two conservation authorities.
