	News release - Carolinian Canada Plaque Unveiled at Sydenham River
		On Thursday, June 24 a Carolinian Canada Heritage plaque was unveiled to recognize the Sydenham River Corridor, one of 38 critical Carolinian Canada sites in the province.
		"The stretch of the river from County Rd. 80 to County Rd. 79, is one of the most beautiful and natural stretches of the Sydenham" Ralph Coe, General Manager of the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority said.
		The Sydenham River in southwestern Ontario is the only major watershed which lies completely in the Carolinian Life Zone and is relatively undisturbed by industrial development.

		The Sydenham River watershed is part of the Lake St. Clair drainage in southwestern Ontario.
		For most Sydenham River system species, the major threat is siltation and associated turbidity caused by agricultural practices and the alteration of shoreline.
		The Sydenham River recovery strategy is a six-year strategy (to end in 2005) that involves field surveys of mussel and fish species at risk, the development of a database of the watershed geography, and the collection and synthesis of information on land use and water quality in the area.

	Tendencies of Rivers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In this way, given the valley slope, soils, and other controls, the river maintains the appropriate shape and form of channel that is the most efficient to move and store both water and sediment at all flows.
		Wood debris that is along a bank or on the outside bend of a river is often not the problem in these circumstances; rather, excessive flooding and erosion occur in rivers that do not have the right width:depth ratio for the type of stream they are.
		In larger rivers, the size and complexity of pools and side margins becomes most important for fish, and vegetation becomes extremely important in the management and health of the floodplain.

	Protecting Biodiversity of Freshwater Mussels in the Lower Great Lakes Basin
		There were also distinct differences in both water quality and the composition of the mussel community between the east and north branches of the Sydenham River, suggesting several possibilities for cause/effect links.
		A model used to predict mussel diversity from drainage area and fish diversity in the Ohio River drainage was applied to southern Ontario rivers, and results showed the Ausable and Sydenham rivers support more species of mussels than expected, indicating they are unusually rich "mussel" rivers.
		It is not known if these two regions contain genetically distinct populations, and to date no research had been conducted on the genetic or evolutionary implications of the large-scale transport of mussels across drainage basins.

		Beluga whales are primarily an arctic species; the St. Lawrence River beluga is the southernmost member of the family and geographically isolated from other beluga populations.
		Specifically, it is found in Battures aux Loups Marins (about 100 kilometres downstream from Quebec City), and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence (from Natashquan to Sept-Iles along the north shore, and from the Baie des Chaleurs to Cloridorne along the south shore).
		A number of factors are thought to contribute to the St. Lawrence River beluga’s failure to thrive.

		Along the 45 km reach of the Sydenham River that represents the entire Canadian range for the species, it occurs at low densities and is probably declining.
		The Sydenham River is located in an area of intensive agricultural activity, thus the remaining Canadian population may be limited by agricultural chemicals, including fertilizers and pesticides, in addition to siltation.
		Strategy Goals: to sustain and enhance the native aquatic communities of the Sydenham River through an ecosystem approach that focuses on species at risk; for the five mussel and eight fish species, to maintain existing populations and restore each species to areas of the river where they formerly occurred.
