An Unwanted Visitor
The Great Lakes continue to be at risk as Asian Carp continue to migrate up the Mississippi river. The GBA has been involved in numerous efforts to help prevent this migration.
Preventing Pollution
The GBA is working with a local group to take over recent research regarding potential pollution from the large past munitions manufacturing plants. The hope is that this strategy will result in a concerted effort to check thoroughly for contaminants and remediate the area.
GBA Snaps
We know many of us take beautiful pictures while out and about enjoying the beautiful Georgian Bay landscape. Upload your pictures to our Facebook page and if we choose to feature your photo in one of our communications, we'll send you some GBA swag.
Threats To Our Ecosystem
Recent reviews of Canada's fresh water ecosystems reveals rising threats from pollution, overuse, invasive species and much more.
Attention Boaters
If you will be boating this summer there is no better time to brush up on safe practices before heading out on the water.
Progress On Permits
Good news on dock permits. After public consultation, and with input from the Georgian Bay Association, the Public Lands Act regulations have been amended to allow most docks and single story boathouses to be built without MNRF land use permits. When we have more information we will post an update to our website and share information on Facebook and Twitter.
Lead A Lead Free Summer
While lead is known to be a serious environmental contaminent many of us are unaware of the potential damage we may be causing to the Georgian Bay wildlife by using lead fishing tackle.
Water Levels
Get your latest water level updates here.
It's a wet one out there and we continue to see a rise in water levels over the last few weeks.
The Corps of Engineers predict that levels in Michigan-Huron will rise by 1 inch over the next 30 days.
