Manitoulin Streams


Manitoulin Streams brings landowners, farmers, fishermen, cottagers and the general public together in a community driven initiative to rehabilitate and enhance the Manitou River and Blue Jay Creek for the sake of water quality and the fisheries resource on Manitoulin Island.

We've created this site to inform the public about the project and to raise awareness of the importance of protecting fisheries and water quality.

What is a stream? A thin strip of water, cutting its way through packed ice, wearing away stone, wandering through forests, finding its way downhill until at last it is lost in open water.  Beyond its banks it goes underground, and stretches into wetlands and floodplains. It is dynamic, constantly changing its course, its size and its temperature. It is a multitude of different habitats for fish, plants, birds, animals and insects, and a source of food for bears, raccoons, minks, cranes, kingfishers, eagles, and people among many other animals.  It is a birthplace for salmon, not to mention for crowds of insects. Streams - from creeks to rivers - are complex ecosystems that are integral to the physical and chemical cycles that shape our planet and allow life to exist. - adapted from Christi Cave, Fisheries Student
