Niagara Coastal Community Based Water Monitoring, Surveillance de l'eau basée sur la communauté côtière de Niagara

Keywords: Niagara, Niagara Coastal, Côte du Niagara, Water Rangers
Temporal coverage: 2022-06-08/2023-10-28

Niagara Coastal is a non-profit organization with a collective approach to environmental governance. We unite coastal residents, eNGOs, educational institutes, and various levels of government with a common agenda of building a healthy and resilient Great Lakes coastal ecosystem that can support the needs of the community.

We operate various community initiatives, including the Visual Assessment Survey Tool (VAST), which engages people in capturing photos of the Great Lakes shoreline to monitor the coast.

Water quality data are collected using tools in the Water Rangers Freshwater Explorer testkit, including portable probes and test strips, conductivity meter, secchi disc, and dissolved oxygen tests. Long term trends are tracked and logged on the Water Rangers data platform.
Données sur la qualité de l'eau de la région du Dehcho, Dehcho Region Water Quality Data

Keywords: Dehcho, Mercury, Mercure, Water Quality, Poisson, Qualité de l'eau, Fish
Temporal coverage: 2013-09-09/2019-09-07

Mercury is a global contaminant that accumulates in organisms, including humans, and can result in many health problems. Eating fish is the primary route by which humans are exposed to mercury, and mercury levels tend to be high in northern regions due to global atmospheric circulation patterns and atmospheric deposition of mercury. Our aim is to understand what the key drivers of fish mercury concentrations are in traditional fishing lakes in the Dehcho region, and how/if these drivers vary predictably among lakes.  Furthermore, the water quality, sediment quality, fish tissue and fish health results have informed consumption guidelines of the fish in the waterbodies being studied, as fish are a valuable traditional food resource to First Nations.  

During a study conducted over the last three years funded by CIMP (#00154), Northern Contaminants Program, Health Canada, and NSERC, we found that some Dehcho lakes have high mercury concentrations in top predator food fish species, such as Northern Pike (exceed Health Canada consumption guidelines), whereas other lakes have relatively low mercury concentrations in these species.  Our results found that among-lake variability in fish mercury concentrations are not fully explained by any of the variety of variables we investigated, including fish growth rates, fish trophic position, fish age, and fish size. We also found an interesting decoupling between mercury concentrations in water and mercury concentrations in fish, and that lakes with high fish mercury concentrations do not necessarily have high rates of mercury biomagnification through the food web.  The water quality and fish data also establish reference conditions for the area relative to future development and a changing climate.

The Bragg Creek Water Quality Sampling group (comprising 44 volunteer citizen scientists) collected grab samples along Bragg Creek from 2005 to 2019. Each sampling period covered the first “weekend” of the month (Friday through Monday). Six sites were monitored five times per year (May through September). The resulting dataset provides baseline conditions for the temporal and spatial variations in gradients of water quality in Bragg Creek, measured in six water quality traits and stream level, and is sufficiently long for among-year trends to emerge. With each passing year, the additional data allow for a more robust statistical analysis of water quality changes. Our project is succesful thanks to Ralph Cartar's dedication, the Elbow River Watershed Partnership, turbidity meter from The City of Calgary, conductivity meter from Bob McAlpine, and titration of our stream gauge from Alberta Environment)

In 1993, Eastern Charlotte Waterways (ECW) was established. Its first action was to assess the freshwater of eastern Charlotte County, New Brunswick. For two years beginning in the summer of 1994, the organization’s members visited ten watersheds between June and November, monitoring an upstream and downstream site for water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. They also monitored four popular swim locations for fecal coliform bacteria. The results of this study were published in “The watersheds of eastern Charlotte: Environmental quality assessment”. Twenty years later, in 2014-2015 the assessment has been replicated by ECW staff to identify any changes in water quality.
