The goal of this document was to summarize research related to waterfowl and wetlands at Lake St. Clair, one of the most important wetland complexes to waterfowl in the Great Lakes. Much of the landscape within the Lake St. Clair region has been drastically altered through wetland drainage, conservation to agricultural lads, recreational disturbance, urbanization, and industrial development. By consolidating the most recent information on the Lake St. Clair region, we hope to increase awareness of the current issues affecting conservation and to attract further research and conservation to the region.
LPW has a great showing at the North American Duck Symposium Staff and students from Long Point Waterfowl attended the 7th North American Duck Symposium in early February 2016. This symposium draws together researchers, government, non-government conservation organizations, and industry representatives to address shared priorities for waterfowl and wetland conservation and management. We had 4 oral and 2 poster presentations with LPW affiliations at the symposium. Of which Matt Dyson (Western University) won 2nd place for the best MSc oral presentation and Elyse Iemola (SUNY ESF) won the best undergraduate poster award. With 430 attendees and many of them students, this was a huge accomplishment, the competition was abundant.
