  • Hamilton Harbour and Watershed Fisheries Management Plan
    Hamilton Harbour and Watershed Fisheries Management Plan A cooperative resource management plan developed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the Royal Botanical Gardens April 7, 2010 Correct citation for this publication: Bowlby, J.N. , K. McCormack, and M.G. Heaton. 2010. Hamilton Harbour and Watershed Fisheries Management Plan. Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Royal Botanical Gardens. Hamilton Harbour and Watershed Fisheries Management Plan Executive Summary Introduction The Hamilton Harbour and Watershed Fisheries Management Plan (HHWFMP) provides information about the characteristics of the watershed, the state of fisheries resources, and guidance for the management of fisheries resources in the watershed. The need for the HHWFMP developed directly from successes of the Hamilton Harbour Remedial Action Plan (RAP) to restore water quality and fish habitat in Hamilton Harbour and its watershed. Hamilton Harbour is a large embayment at the western tip of Lake Ontario. The main tributaries of Hamilton Harbour include Spencer Creek, Grindstone Creek, and Red Hill Creek. The Hamilton Harbour watershed, which includes the contributing streams and creeks, covers an area of approximately 500 km2. It encompasses some of the regions most scenic and diverse landscapes: the Niagara Escarpment is a prominent physical feature, and Cootes Paradise is one of the largest and most significant coastal wetlands of Lake Ontario. Water quality in Hamilton Harbour and Cootes Paradise is the most important factor that currently limits the successful restoration of sustainable, self–reproducing native fish community. In 1987, Hamilton Harbour was officially designated as an Area of Concern (AOC) by the International Joint Commission, pursuant to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.

HMCS Haida, Canada’s most famous warship, saw distinguished service with the Royal Canadian Navy in World War II, the Korean conflict and the Cold War. Decommissioned in 1963, she was designated as a national historic site in 1984 because of her role in naval combat and because she is the last of the Tribal class destroyers once used by three navies. THE VISION In 2020, HMCS Haida is managed and pre- sented as a living, operating ship. Visitors enjoy the unique opportunity to explore, discover, experience, and learn about the inner workings of and life aboard a World War II–era naval vessel.
