Waterfront Recreation (photo of big boat going by) Module 6:1

Recreational Areas A) On Shore Sharing the waterfront Beaches B) Crossing Over Paths, stairs, bridges Docks C) Making a Splash Boating Fishing Aquatic plants Module 6:2

A. On Shore Module 6:3

Clearing Space Increased runoff = Poor water quality Shoreline erosion = Loss of property Eliminated habitat = Loss of wildlife Module 6:4

Sharing the Waterfront Module 6:5

Beaches Module 6:6 Photo credit: ontarioguide.com

Alternatives to Creating a Beach  Use natural beaches  Build beaches upland  Use coarser gravel instead of sand  Have a single access point to the water  Build a swimming platform Module 6:7

B. Crossing Over oo Module 6:8 Pathways Stairs & bridges Docks

Pathways Module 6:9

Handling Fish Be kind:  Keep fish out of water as short as possible  Handle as little as possible  Release gently Module 6:33

Regulations Module 6:34

Aquatic Plants Module 6:35 Photo credit: Carrol Henderson

Benefits of Aquatic Plants 1.Prevent erosion 2.Protect water quality 3.Provide food & habitat 4.Protect nesting areas Module 6:36

The Consequences of Removal  Increased plant growth  Invasion by new species  Shoreline erosion  Decline in water quality  Loss of habitat and food sources Module 6:37

Considerations Prior to Plant Removal  Are the plants native or exotic species?  Has there been a change in the diversity or the extent of the plants?  Are there natural or artificial growing conditions? Module 6:38

Managing Aquatic Plants 1.Managing nutrient inputs 2.Sharing the waterfront 3.Manual removal 4.Mechanical removal 5.Other types of removal Module 6:39

Managing Nutrient Inputs  Use phosphate-free products  Avoid fertilizing your lawn  Keep grass clippings away from water  Keep a well buffered shoreline  Re-direct runoff away from the water  Maintain your septic system  Clean up after pets Module 6:40
