Delta Marsh development proposal: (This report supercedes Ducks Unlimited (Canada)'s January 1981 submission). Ducks Unlimited Canada

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: MB : 1981Online resources: Abstract: Located at the south end of Lake Manitoba, the Delta Marsh has national significance and an international reputation but in recent years it has become an open, windswept and unproductive lake marsh. The single most important factor which limits wildlife production at Delta is the long term stabilization of water levels on Lake Manitoba and the resultant effect on Delta Marsh. Using the 1978 Delta Marsh Plan as a base, Ducks Unlimited initiated intensive biological, engineering, and public relations investigations in September 1979 in an attempt to develop a working plan which would incorporate sound technical information as well as the interests of local landowners and marsh users. DU met on numerous occasions with over two hundred individuals as well as groups of farmers, trappers, hunters, lodge and cottage owners, and commercial fishermen to obtain their input and support.
