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
