Fishermen share the basin with other users, including hunters, trappers and tourists.
Since July 1999, some progress has been made in establishing a watershed-monitoring group. It would appear that local foresters do not want to discuss their problems in front of colleagues. The first two initiatives will inform the forestry companies and the individual foresters of the importance of maintaining good water quality. We are also meeting with other stakeholders from the watershed. The local Hunting and Fishing Association has more than 2000 members, and we have presented for review to their Executive Council a Best Practices Code that will lead to more sustainable use of the watershed.
