  • Status and Extent of Aquatic Protected Areas in the Great Lakes
    Status and Extent of Aquatic Protected Areas in the Great Lakes Scott R. Parker, Nicholas E. Mandrak, Jeff D. Truscott, Patrick L. Lawrence, Dan Kraus, Graham Bryan, and Mike Molnar Introduction The Laurentian Great Lakes are immensely important to the environmental, economic, and social well-being of both Canada and the United States (US). They form the largest surface freshwater system in the world. At over 30,000 km long, their mainland and island coastline is comparable in length to that of the contiguous US marine coastline (Government of Canada and USEPA 1995; Gronewold et al. 2013). With thousands of native species, including many endemics, the lakes are rich in biodiversity (Pearsall 2013). However, over the last century the Great Lakes have experienced profound human-caused changes, includ- ing those associated with land use changes, contaminants, invasive species, climate change, over-fishing, and habitat loss (e.g., Bunnell et al. 2014; Smith et al. 2015). It is a challenging context in terms of conservation, especially within protected areas established to safeguard species and their habitat. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), a protected area is “a clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long-term conservation of nature with associat- ed ecosystem services and cultural values” (Dudley 2008). Depending on the management goals, protected areas can span the spectrum of IUCN categories from highly protected no- take reserves to multiple-use areas (Table 1). The potential values and benefits of protected areas are well established, including conserving biodiversity; protecting ecosystem structures and functions; being a focal point and context for public engagement, education, and good governance; supporting nature-based recreation and tourism; acting as a control or reference site for scientific research; providing a positive spill-over effect for fisheries; and helping to mitigate and adapt to climate change (e.g., Lemieux et al.

  • Michigan Study No.: 230703 Project No.: F-80-R-5 Title
    STUDY PERFORMANCE REPORT State: Michigan Project No.: F-80-R-5 Study No.: 230703 Title: Lakewide assessment of the contribution of natural recruitment to the chinook salmon population of Lake Huron. Period Covered: October 1, 2003 to September 30, 2004 Study Objective: (1) To estimate annual natural recruitment of chinook salmon to Lake Huron for the 2000 to 2003 year classes; (2) To determine contributions from natural reproduction to the spawning populations of selected tributaries to Lake Huron; (3) To refine recruitment modules of Lake Huron’s bioenergetics and catch-at-age models, which will, in turn, be used to prescribe stocking levels for Lake Huron. Summary: This was the third year of funding for this project. All chinook salmon stocked in lakes Huron and Michigan, except those stocked by Ontario, were marked using oxytetracycline administered in feed. All chinook salmon stocked in Ontario waters of Lake Huron were fin clipped. Quality control samples of vertebrae were received during May and June 2003 from Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin hatcheries and the samples were checked for quality of the oxytetracycline mark. We used ultraviolet microscope equipment and imaging software to enhance reproducibility and specimen processing speed. Vertebrae images and biological data from the Chinook salmon sampled were electronically archived in a database developed cooperatively with Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. These data were shared with other cooperating agencies on the Lake Huron Technical Committee. This year was the third year of field collections and creel clerks and coded-wire tag recovery personnel were trained in gathering vertebrae for the recruitment study.
