These dollars go toward fish and habitat protection, fish stocking, research, clean-up of polluted fisheries habitat and public education. When the Hon. Vincent G. Kerrio, the province’s Minister of Natural Resources introduced the resident angling licence this year, he promised that revenues from the sale of the $10 annual licence would be used to benefit the fisheries resource. Most anglers, pleased that their money would be directly benefitting their favourite resource, supported the new plan. Already, the Wingham District of the Ministry of Natural Resourc­ es (MNR) has completed some fisheries projects made possible by licence revenues. More than $120 thousand dollars has been allocat­ ed tothe districtfor the 1987/88 budget year. Projects include: habitat improvement (livestock fencing, construction of instream habitat devices, reforestation and beaver dam removal) on coldwater tributaries of the Bayfield, Mait­ land and Nine Mile Rivers; rain­ bow trout stocking in district ponds; a study of the walleye fishery in the Maitland River to determine present use and future potential, and various stream surveys to record water tempera­ tures, fish populations and use of habitat. District biologist Mike Malhiot is enthusiastic about what may be accomplished in this area with the extra funds. “These projects are making an immediate contribution to increased sport fish produc­ tion,’’ he said. “In addition, important management questions are being answered which will enable us to implement new ptojects as early as next year.
