  • Community Conservation and Stewardship Plan
    Ecological Significance The Bruce Peninsula has long been recognized as a special place and sustains some of the most intact ecosystems in all of southern Ontario. It is a critically important stronghold for native flora and fauna and has been identified as one of the Great Lakes’ biodiversity “hotspots” with an abundance of globally rare, endemic and endangered species and natural communities. The majestic cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment dominate the area, soaring to 120 m above Georgian Bay and gently sloping southwestwardly over a dolostone plain to the bedrock and sandy shores of Lake Huron. This spectacular geological formation combines with the climatic influences of the Great Lakes to create a diverse mosaic of ecological systems and communities. Nested within the vast forests of the Bruce Peninsula are lakes, rivers and streams, wetlands, and a variety of globally rare alvar communities. The shorelines of the Bruce Peninsula and its archipelago of islands offer a diverse assemblage of coastal communities from cliffs and talus slopes to cobble, boulder and bedrock shorelines to sand beaches and dunes. Situated in the heart of the Great Lakes, the waters of the Bruce Peninsula provide diverse and productive aquatic systems from the shallow nearshore areas and coastal wetlands of Lake Huron to the depths of Georgian Bay. Within close proximity to Canada’s largest metropolitan areas, the Bruce Peninsula has maintained a relatively natural and intact landscape, and it continues to be one of the most important refuges for biodiversity in Canada with one of the highest concentrations of nationally and provincially rare species.

  • Supplemental Environmental Assessment
    FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: REDUCING DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT DAMAGE IN OHIO November 2013 I. INTRODUCTION Across the United States, wildlife habitat has been substantially changed as the human population expands and more land is used to meet human needs. These human uses often come into conflict with the needs of wildlife and increase the potential for negative human/wildlife interactions. Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus; hereafter, DCCOs; see Appendix A for a list of acronyms) are one of the wildlife species that engage in activities which sometimes conflict with human activities and resource uses. Conflicts with DCCOs include but are not limited to DCCO foraging on fish at aquaculture facilities, DCCO foraging on populations of sport fish, negative impacts of increasing DCCO populations on vegetation and habitat used by other wildlife species, damage to private property from DCCO feces, and risks of aircraft collisions with DCCOs at or near airports. Wildlife damage management is the science of reducing damage or other problems associated with wildlife and is recognized as an integral part of wildlife management (The Wildlife Society 1992). In 2006, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services (WS), the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife (ODW) prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) on alternatives for reducing DCCO damage to aquaculture, property, natural resources, and risks to human health and safety on private and public lands in Ohio (USDA 2006). Wildlife Services, the USFWS and the ODW have prepared this supplement to the EA to review the environmental impacts of cormorant damage management (CDM) carried out since 2006 in Ohio and proposed adjustments to compost monitoring activities.
