DESCRIPTORS Environmental Education; Foreign Countries; Marine Biology; *Water Resources IDENTIFIERS Canada; *Freshwater Systems ABSTRACT The importance of educating Canadians about their water resources is the mandate of many government and non-government agencies and groups. The aim of this bibliography is to outline what is presently available in this area in order to identify gaps in the development of water education programs and products. This educational tool has been prepared for schools (teachers, students, and librarians), environmental organizations, government, business, the general public, and other audiences who are searching for materials of a general, non-technical, and non-scientific nature. It contains over 400 English and 50 French references to documents including books, audiovisual materials, and curriculum resources. The main focus is on Canadian product; but a sampling of materials from other countries is also inciuded. Each document is indexed according to primary geographic area, target audience, and material type designation, and is cross-referenced where possible. The five target audience divisions are: general public; educators; students; groups and associations; and policy-makers, managers, and administrators. The contents of this bibliography are also available online as a sub-set of AQUAREF, an Environment Canada computerized database accessed through CAN/OLE.(JRH) *********************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made * from the original document. * **********************************************************************k -PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE THIS u.S DEPARTMENT OF EDuCATION MATERIAL HAS BEEN GRANTED BY Once o EducalonalReSearch and Imp,Ovement f DUCA TIONAL Rf SOURCES INFORMATION (;f POE R IE RIC) Th,s 60Curnem naS been eptoduced aS I Environmental ".erd t'o'rn Ihe Per Son of orgamtalasn mujmaimg M.nof Changes have been made In wnrouve I Citizenship iedinduCltdri dually 10 THE EDUCATIONAL HE:,uURL.ES POInIs Of v.ew re Mentions staled in I his Cr) mem 00 um necessaea, 016(.31 INFORMATION CENTEP ,1 RIC) Of RI DOStlion wary A Bibliography of Freshwater Awareness Materials IP 111141/ ...imArlir'Vom Aker Environment Environnement Canada Canada EST COPY AVAILABLE -4 It : .5 - 0 II 4 Se ISO a . 41 5 o 5- .. e 0 . .4 0 0 0 --- D 04 4 - 0 0 0 0 4 0 4 .20 II s . 4. .0. .111 0 0 * .5.

The efforts over the past few years have been varied and sporadic. However, the attempt is presently being made to tackle the job with more direction and a clearer perspective. In order to develop future water education programs and products it is important to determine what is presently available so that we can identify the gaps and proceed accordingly. Time, effort and money are too precious to waste on redundant projects. It is hoped that this bibliography will help to provide this clearer direction. A Bibliogiftphy of Freshwater Awareness Materials is offered as an educational tool for schools (teachers, students, and librarians), environmental organizations, government, business, the general public and other audiences who are searching for materials of a general, non-technical and non-scientific nature.It contains over 400 English and 50 French references to documents including books, audiovisual materials and curriculum resources. Key government agencies and environmental organizations were surveyed and relevant materials were requested for inclusion. An effort was made to concentrate on items produced in Canada. However, the U.S. experience in the field of water education is recognized as long-standing, relevant and appropriate and various programs and products were also selected for inclusion. As noted on the inside cover, the contents of this bibliography are also available online as a sub-set of AQUAREF, an Environment Canada computerized database accessed through CAN/OLE. Both the online version and the print edition presented here represent only a portion of the materials available and both will be updated as the need arises. It is hoped that this publication will assist those individuals and groups who are involved in activities which promote the hcreased knowledge, understanding and responsible action of Canadians toward our most vital resourcewater.

Sport fish in the lake include northern pike, yellow perch, and lake whitefish. There are a unique mix of land uses in the lake watershed, which include undisturbed bush and forest, agriculture, two coal mines with active and reclaimed areas, three coal-fired power plants, major transportation (road and rail) corridors, residences, and recreation. The mines supply fuel for the power plants, operated by the TransAlta Utilities Corporation (TAU). Industrial wastewaters, runoff and cooling water from the Whitewood mine and Wabamun power plant are discharged to the lake. Over time, TAU operations associated with the mines and power plants in the watershed have caused cumulative and ongoing impacts on the lake level.

FSI rankings for habitat protection and overharvest protection needs for walleye populations in Alberta, 2015. Please note that data reliability is not currently displayed in these figures. Walleye Population Status Walleye in Alberta are located near the northern edge of this species’ range, and compared to southern populations, growth rates are slower, maturity is later and consequently the fisheries are less productive. Historically, walleye were likely abundant in only about half of Alberta’s fish-bearing lakes. Many Alberta lakes are naturally limited by low oxygen, small size, or high salinity and would not have supported walleye. Collapse and Recovery Because of their popularity as a sport and commercial fish, walleye were severely overharvested in Alberta.

    Summer Lakekeepers 2019 ALBERTA LAKE MANAGEMENT SOCIETY’S OBJECTIVES

    Summer LakeKeepers 2019 ALBERTA LAKE MANAGEMENT SOCIETY’S OBJECTIVES The Alberta Lake Management Society (ALMS) has several objectives, one of which is to collect and interpret water quality data on Alberta Lakes. Equally important is educating lake users about their aquatic environment, encouraging public involvement in lake management, and facilitating cooperation and partnerships between government, industry, the scientific community and lake users. ALMS would like to thank all who express interest in Alberta’s aquatic environments and particularly those who have participated in the LakeKeepers program. These leaders in stewardship give us hope that our water resources will not be the limiting factor in the health of our environment. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The LakeKeepers project was made possible with support from Alberta Ecotrust. We would like to thank the volunteers from Graham Lake, Haig Lake, Snipe Lake, Swan Lake, Lac La Nonne, Tait Lake, Westover Lake, and Beauvais Lake. We would also like to thank the Mighty Peace Watershed Alliance for their assistance with coordinating volunteers and sample shipment. A special thanks to Cerina Lee for developing the LakeKeeper training videos. This report has been prepared by Bradley Peter and Caleb Sinn. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2018, the Alberta Lake Management Society (ALMS), with financial support from Alberta Ecotrust, piloted the LakeKeepers project. This project was designed to enable stewards to conduct lake monitoring by providing them with training and sampling equipment. In the first Summer LakeKeepers season in 2018, five lakes were sampled for a total of 14 monitoring trips. To see the results of the Summer LakeKeepers 2018 sampling program, find the report on our website (https://alms.ca/reports/).
  • Moose Lake Handbook

    Moose Lake Handbook

    Moose Lake Our Past - Our Home - Our Future Moose Lake has a rich history starting with the fur trade and continually evolving to today with over 10,000 visitors annually. The area is under pressure from development such as subdivisions, lakelots, campgrounds, industry, agriculture and recreation; as well as the wildlife that make the lake their home. The Moose Lake Watershed Society (MLWS) recognizes that watershed management is vital to conserving the lake and maintaining its ecological value that we all can enjoy. The Moose Lake Water- shed Society is pleased to provide this handbook, which helps us achieve our vision as well as work to complete our Moose Lake Watershed Management Plan goals. Vision To maintain a healthy and func- tioning Moose Lake Watershed and recognize the importance of living within the capacity of the natural environment as a means of ensuring sustainable environ- mental, economic and social values. Acknowledgments This handbook was created for the Moose Lake Watershed Society by Kellie Nichiporik, with the assis- tance of the staff of the Beaver River Watershed Alliance and reviewed by members of the Moose Lake Watershed Society.

    Lac La Nonne Fisheries Management Objectives

    Lac La Nonne Fisheries Management Objectives Summary Information Version Date: Prepared by: Reviewed by: Approved by: October 2018 Nate Medinski Marcel Macullo Curtis Brock Waterbody ID: Surface Area: Hydrologic Unit Code Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC_8): 5448 1293 Ha Name (HUC_8): Lower 17030201 Pembina River Sport Fish Species: Walleye, Northern Pike, Yellow Perch, Lake Whitefish, Burbot Indigenous Fishery: Yes Environment and Parks Region: Fisheries Management Fisheries Management Office: Upper Athabasca Region (UAR) Zone: Northern Boreal Athabasca 2 (NB2) Background Lac La Nonne is located approximately 90 km northwest of Edmonton. It supports a sport fishery for walleye, northern pike, yellow perch, lake whitefish and burbot that receives very high angling pressure due to the local communities and villages, campground facilities and short travelling distance from the Greater Edmonton Area. A commercial fishery previously existed on Lac La Nonne, with detailed records dating back to the 1940’s. Commercial fishing no longer occurs anywhere in Alberta, including at Lac La Nonne. Prior to 1998, regulations which permitted the overharvest of walleye stocks resulted in a decline in population abundance, ultimately resulting in a collapsed recreational fishery. In response to the observed declines, catch and release regulations were implemented from 1998 through 2009, allowing the walleye fishery to recover. In order to create a sustainable harvest walleye fishery, a Special Harvest License (SHL) system was implemented in 2010. The SHL was implemented successfully until 2015, when a severe winterkill occurred. Since the winterkill event, SHL tags have not been allocated to expedite the recovery of the walleye population. Fall Index Netting (FIN) following the winterkill revealed that walleye and lake whitefish suffered substantial population declines, whereas other fish species decreased in abundance but to a lesser degree.
