Michipicoten-Magpie and Agawa The Michipicoten-Magpie and Agawa regional Michipicoten- unit contains numerous rivers that provide Magpie and habitat for warm and cold water fish species. The Michipicoten River was historically a Agawa Regional spawning tributary for Lake Sturgeon. A Plan number of tributaries, including the Montreal and Dog Rivers are host to a unique stock of river spawning Lake Trout. The nearshore This is one of twenty waters contain important habitat for Lake Regional Plans that Trout and Lake Whitefish.

Species such as Lake Sturgeon would benefit from enhanced spawning habitat if improvements to water management agreements were made in these river systems. Hydro power generation benefits society, and losses to biodiversity in riverine habitats can be mitigated when stable and critical flows are identified and implemented through water management plans. The shoreline and nearshore conditions that exist between Michipicoten Harbour and Michipicoten Island are in excellent condition; to maintain the current conditions, future development proposals should be carefully considered. Monitoring and management of fish harvests by commercial fishermen along the eastern shoreline is recommended. The nearshore environment in Michipicoten Harbour and riverine habitat in the Michipicoten, Magpie, and Montreal River systems offer several restoration opportunities, which may best be pursued following the development of management agreements. 2 Lake Superior Biodiversity Conservation Strategy: Final Regional Plans, September 2015 Conservation Actions The Lake Superior community has a strong an ongoing history of taking action to restore and protect the lake’s extraordinary biodiversity. Actions are occurring at all scales - from national, state, provincial, tribal, First Nations, Métis, and municipal programs, to lakewide initiatives and local projects by communities, businesses, and households. Some important habitats currently have a conservation designation with a corresponding management strategy, and active supervision of these areas is essential to sustaining biodiversity. The table below presents next steps for conserving and protecting biodiversity in this regional unit. Other existing plans relevant to conserving habitats and species in this region should continue to be implemented. A list of existing plans relevant to the next steps presented below is presented at the end of this document. Regional Plan Next Steps There is some variation among Regional Plans in how future actions from existing plans were incorporated into this document, based on advice from the implementers of those plans in the region. Similarly, implementation approaches vary greatly among regional units. The Lake Superior Partnership serves an important role in facilitating cooperation among agencies to support on-the-ground action. Priority implementation actions developed through the Partnership are identified in the Lake Superior LAMP, Lake Partnership committee work plans, and agency specific action plans. Regional Objective Next Step Conservation Primary Target Lakewide Strategyi Lakewide Strategy 1: Restore and protect a system of representative, high quality habitats.

  • The State of Lake Superior in 2005
    THE STATE OF LAKE SUPERIOR IN 2005 SPECIAL PUBLICATION 10-01 The Great Lakes Fishery Commission was established by the Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries between Canada and the United States, which was ratified on October 11, 1955. It was organized in April 1956 and assumed its duties as set forth in the Convention on July 1, 1956. The Commission has two major responsibilities: first, develop coordinated programs of research in the Great Lakes, and, on the basis of the findings, recommend measures which will permit the maximum sustained productivity of stocks of fish of common concern; second, formulate and implement a program to eradicate or minimize sea lamprey populations in the Great Lakes. The Commission is also required to publish or authorize the publication of scientific or other information obtained in the performance of its duties. In fulfillment of this requirement the Commission publishes the Technical Report Series, intended for peer-reviewed scientific literature; Special Publications, designed primarily for dissemination of reports produced by working committees of the Commission; and other (non-serial) publications. Technical Reports are most suitable for either interdisciplinary review and synthesis papers of general interest to Great Lakes fisheries researchers, managers, and administrators, or more narrowly focused material with special relevance to a single but important aspect of the Commission's program. Special Publications, being working documents, may evolve with the findings of and charges to a particular committee. Both publications follow the style of the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. Sponsorship of Technical Reports or Special Publications does not necessarily imply that the findings or conclusions contained therein are endorsed by the Commission.

  • The Expansion of Ojibway and French Place ÂŒ Names Into the Lake
    The Expansion of Ojibway and French Place-names into the Lake Superior Region in the Seventeenth Century! ALAN H. HARTLEY DESPITE ITS LOCATION in the remote interior of North Amer- ica, Lake Superior has a written history of almost 350 years. It owes its early exploration and settlement to its position on the ancient trans- continental water-route which extends from the Gulf of S1. Lawrence, through the Ottawa River, Lake Winnipeg and the Saskatchewan River, to the Rocky Mountains. It was the westward expansion of Ojibway-speaking Indians2 and the French, their customers in the fur trade, which made this vast area known to Europe. The early to- ponymy of Lake Superior and its eastern approaches reflects this partnership in its mixture of Ojibway and French names. For the purposes of this study, the westward expansion of the French can be considered to have occurred in three stages. I. 1608-1641, from Samuel de Champlain's establishment of a trading post at Quebec, through Jean Nicolet's explorations around Green Bay in 1634, to the visit of Fathers Jogues and Raymbault to Sault Ste. Marie. Lake Superior lay in unexplored country. II. 1659-1684, from Radisson and Des Groseillers' explorations in western Lake Superior and the Sioux country, to Sieur Dulhut's establishment of posts on Lake Nipigon, Thunder Bay and possibly the headwaters of the St. Croix River in Wisconsin. This was the period during which the Lake Superior basin 1 I am grateful to the following for their constructive reviews of this paper: Alan Rayburn, Secretariat of Geographical Names, Ottawa; William Cowan, Carleton University, Ottawa; Edith Hols, University of Minnesota, Duluth; Donald Lawrence, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.

  • Algoma Ore: the Helen and Magpie Iron Mines by James Shefchik
    Algoma Ore: The Helen and Magpie Iron Mines By James Shefchik The Helen and Magpie mines are situated to the north, northeast of Wawa, Ontario inland from the eastern shore of Lake Superior, about 279 km north of Sault Sainte Marie, Ontatio. The Helen mine site is roughly 6 km (about 4 miles) from Wawa up Mine Road. The Magpie mine is situated up the Michipicoten River about 24 km (15 miles) from Wawa. The Magpie Mine site is accessible via boat from the Steephill Falls dam, with a short overland traverse to the mine site or alternatively via bush road. The discovery and development of the Helen and Magpie mines not only fueled a steel industry in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, it also spurred the development of a number of hydroelectric power projects in Sault Sainte Marie and Wawa. High grade iron ore as well as beneficiated or refned lower grade ores from these mines furnished most of the native ore that fed Canadian production of steel during the frst two decades of the 1900s. The mines each supported small company towns for workers and families. In the 1950s, Wawa became an established village, mostly populated by individuals involved in the iron industry. The mines not only fueled the Algoma Steel plant and supporting industries at the Soo, operations also involved a number of hoists or lifts, crushers, an aerial tramway, firing plant, rail shipping, and Great Lakes ore freight. The Helen and Magpie mines helped to feed the industrialization of northern Ontario. An initial gold rush in the area during the late 19th century brought prospectors looking for claims to stake.

    C1517 South Michipicoten River – Superior Shoreline Conservation Reserve Statement of Conservation Interest February 2004 Prepared by: Tom Kenerknecht Approval Statement I am pleased to approve this Statement of Conservation Interest (SCI) for the South Michipicoten River – Superior Shoreline Conservation Reserve (C1517). Direction for establishing, planning and managing Conservation Reserves is provided by the Public Lands Act and current policy. Policy PL 3.03.05 states that “Ontario’s network of natural heritage areas has been established to protect and conserve areas representative of the diversity of the natural regions of the province, including species, habitats, features and ecological systems which comprise that natural diversity”. This SCI will provide guidance for the management of the Conservation Reserve and the basis for the ongoing monitoring of activities. More detailed direction at this time is not anticipated. Should significant facility development be considered or complex issues arise requiring more defined management direction, a more detailed Resource Management Plan will be prepared with full public consultation. This document was prepared with input from Wawa District staff, other ministries, and the public. A draft plan was provided to the MNR Northeast Region planning unit for review. The public was consulted on potential boundary refinement prior to the CR being regulated. During plan preparation the general public had an opportunity to review and comment on proposals in the draft plan before plan approval. Technical and scientific advice and expertise was obtained as required throughout the planning process. The Conservation Reserve will be managed under the jurisdiction of the Wawa Area Supervisor of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Wawa District.
