Lake Ontario Shore Protection Study: Literature Review Report.

Abstract

The purpose of the report was to prepare a document that would be of aid to the Corps staff involved with Stage I of the Lake Ontario Shoreline Protection Study (LOSPS). Information, in the form of aritcles, unpublished reports, books, and other printed material, was gathered and analyzed. In addition, individuals with governmental agencies, private industry, and citizens groups were contacted and interviewed. From these sources the following summary of the biological and socio-historical components in the nearshore, shoreline, and wetland areas of Lake Ontario from the Niagara River to Cape Vincent, and of St. Lawrence River from Cape Vincent to Massena was compiled. Special emphasis was placed on unique or rare areas and organisms (including endangered species). An attempt was made to identify anticipated anthropogenic alterations in these regions. (Author)
