Taking the Pulse of the St. Lawrence

Published: March 1, 2019, 11:48 a.m.

Dr. Leigh McGaughey has researched diverse aquatic ecosystems all over the world, and is now focusing on the St. Lawrence River. The report intends to address the questions of importance to members of the public. Can I eat the fish that I catch? Is it safe to swim? How healthy is our water? It’s about the health of the River now, how it compares to the past, and what can be done to make it better. The report is intended to focus research programs in areas that are data deficient and provide direction for rehabilitation projects and policy/management decisions.
