The BPBA's Six Streams Water Quality Initiative is one of six priority areas (sentinel watersheds and beacon areas), along Lake Huron's southeast shore, of the Healthy Lake Huron - Clean Water, Clean Beaches Partnership.

The Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association recognizes water quality is fundamental to ecological and human health and it is a necessary foundation for our region’s economic prosperity. 

To help make "clean water, clean beaches" actions to match the words, the BPBA started a multi-year Six Streams Initiative to reduce phosphorus, nitrates, E. coli, oil, and other pollutants from entering our streams and our lake. 

The association's objectives for the project include:

  • Gather information on the quality of the water in our streams
  • Provide cattle with alternative watering sources, other than streams
  • Reduce phosphorus and sediment loading from soil erosion into the streams
  • Fix failing septic systems
  • Improve shoreline stewardship
