PREFACE A "Workshop on Integrity and Surprise" was convened in Burlington, Ontario, on 14-16 June 1988 under the auspices of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission's Board of Technical Experts (GLFC/BOTE) and the International Joint Commission's Great Lakes Science Advisory Board (IJC/SAB) . The Workshop was supported by funds from the SAB and BOTE. In addition, the Donner Canadian Foundation supported the contributions of several Canadian collaborators. This workshop was a sequel of two earlier initiatives. One of these was the Ecosystem Approach Workshop, convened in Hiram, Ohio, in 1983 under the auspices of IJC/SAB, GLFC/BOTE, the International Association of Great Lakes Research, and Great Lakes Tomorrow. The other was the third series of Canada-U ..S. Inter-University Seminars (CUSIS 111) of 1983-4, which concluded with a meeting in Racine, Wisconsin. The 1983 Hiram Worksfiop emphasized practical 'aspects of ecosystem politics. The CUSIS Seminars emphasized ecosystemic governance.2 This 1988 Burlington Workshop emphasized scientific and conceptual aspects of ecosystemic policies in the context of great practical uncertainty.---Two working groups were convened to explore the implications for policy and for - theory and testing of ecosystem integrity and surprise -in the Great Lakes basin. With the exception of the introductory paper providing a range of individual perspectives on ecosystem integrity, the papers in these proceedings are categorized according to the two above- mentioned working groups. The first paper in each categojr provides an overview of that working group's discussions and conclusions. - This workshop was organized and convened by a joint committee of the SAB and BOTE. A. P.

Regier an8 Robert L. France Department of Zoology, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario M5S lA5 ABSTRACT. We have reviewed and analyzed the proceedings of a Symposium on the Integrity of Water convened in 1975 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. We presupposed that all the participants had at least some minimal commitment to the purpose of the goal of integrity as specified in the U.S. Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. We perceived a spectrum of interpretations of the term integrity and have divided this spectrum'into five classes according to the substance of the goal and supporting strategies with which speakers have invested the term integrity. We have then provided a summary sketch of each of these classes. The word integrity figures prominently in Section 304 of the U.S. Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. To clarify the concept of integrity, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency convened a Symposium on the Integrity of Water in Washington, M3 on March 10-12, 1975. The proceedings (U.S. Government Printing Office Stock No. 055-001-01068-1) were published in 1977. The focus of the 1975 Symposium was on the definition and interpretation of water quality integrity as viewed and discussed by representatives from federal and state government agencies, industry, academia, and conservation/environmental groups. Almost all the participants were American. The Symposium was designed to interrelate two concepts of integrity, 1) as a desirable characteristic of natural ecosystems, and 2) as a moral or cultural principle, and then apply this combined concept to the real-world pragmatic use of integrity for setting regulatory practices. During the Symposium, it was noted (by R.B. Robie) that "from ,the many interpretations presented, it can clearly be seen that integrity, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.Ig One way to sort out these differences is to examine the various 'perspectives of the Symposium participants with respect to the degree of refonn deemed necessary to achieve integrity. We discerned five different degrees of refonn from the Symposium proceedings and have excerpted text that we consider to be illustrative of each refonn objective. We then attempt a general characterization of strategies for each objective. The five refonn objectives are: deep refonn, partial refonn, incremental advances, holding the line, and slowing the rate of retreat. For each of the excerpts that follow we have given the name of the symposium participant and the page(s) on which the statement may be found. We have classified the statements, not the participants, who made those statements. We emphasize that a statement taken out of context should not be used to infer the degree of reform to which a speaker might be committed. SYMPOSIUM EXCERPTS RELATED TO FIVE REFORM OBJECTIVES Deep Reform Senator Muskie, in the Senate debate on the conference report: "These policies simply mean that streams and rivers are no longer to be considered part of the waste treatment process." And elsewhere: "This legislation would clearly establish that no one has the right to pollute, that pollution continues because of technological limits, not because of any inherent right to use the nation's waterways for the purpose of disposing of wastes. -- R. Outen, p. 217. The goal of the Act

  • 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.
