From Man Vs. Nature To Environment Vs. Budget - The Shifting Battles In The History Of Pollution And Toxicity In Hamilton Harbour, Sara N. Giglia
From Man Vs. Nature To Environment Vs. Budget - The Shifting Battles In The History Of Pollution And Toxicity In Hamilton Harbour, Sara N. Giglia
The Great Lakes Journal of Undergraduate History
Hamilton Harbour is the principle port serving South Western Ontario and the Niagara Peninsula region with two of Canada’s largest steel manufacturers occupying the waterfront. As early as the 1860s fishery inspectors in Hamilton noted the fish tasted of coal, that there were dead ducks and small animals that were coated in oil from refineries. In the 1950s the Hamilton Harbour was deemed unfit for recreational use and although the state of the harbour may be slowly improving, it is far from being delisted from the International Joint Commission’s Area of Concerns designations list. This paper will first look at …

Assessing The Accuracy Of Fish-Based Indicators Of Biological Condition In Coastal Wetlands Of The Great Lakes, Jeffrey D. Buckley
Assessing The Accuracy Of Fish-Based Indicators Of Biological Condition In Coastal Wetlands Of The Great Lakes, Jeffrey D. Buckley
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Assessing the quality of biological communities is important in the management of Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands. Biological indicator models can be used to quantify the condition of biotic communities. A number of biological indicators have been developed for use with fish communities in Great Lakes Coastal wetlands. The overall goal of this thesis was to assess the performance of various biological indicators in their ability to identify degradation in wetland fish communities. Biological indicators were assessed with respect to the disturbance gradient against which they was originally derived. Subsequently, the models' utility as diagnostic tools was assessed for use in …
