State of the Bay Science Forum - Oct 10 - 11, 2012
The
focus of this forum is to ensure that we are on the right path -
heading toward completion of the RAP and delisting. We have to make sure
that our delisting criteria are scientifically defensible and
compatible, so that we aren’t creating a greater imbalance within the
ecosystem. We want to find out what needs to be done in the short term,
one to five years, and what we need to watch for in the long term –
post-delisting - to ensure no back sliding of the environmental gains in
the Bay.

Stormwater management guidelines for the Bay of Quinte to protect water quality in the bay.
Habitat enhancement and restoration programs have resulted in over 40 kilometers of shoreline have been planted with native trees, shrubs and grasses to reduce erosion and improve habitats.
Over 800 hectares of wetland have been either rehabilitated or protected.
2018 was the 17th year of the Community Wildlife Monitoring Program
Completed fish and wildlife habitat and fisheries management plans, natural heritage strategies, and a regional pollution prevention and control plan.
