Benthic macroinvertebrate assessment of Big Hawk Lake
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The purpose of this project is to research, analyze, and interpret benthic macroinvertebrate data gathered at Big Hawk Lake, in addition to water chemistry and aquatic vegetation, to assess and understand the water quality of the lake. The results of the water quality analyses and benthic indices aided in developing recommendations which will be provided to the Halls and Hawks Lakes Property Owners Association (HHLPOA). Recommendations will include efforts that can be made to maintain and improve the health of the lake, aligning with the HHLPOA’s long-term goal of keeping their lakes healthy and sustainable. In reference to the HHPLOA vision statement, an evaluation of the concerns at Big Hawk Lake will be executed and considered through benthic water quality indices and measures of water chemistry. This summary report will include the study methods, our findings, results, and recommendations for maintaining the water quality at Big Hawk Lake based on its current status.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Bob Lake is an inland lake located in Minden, Ontario, that is home to the Bob Lake
Association. We completed a benthic macroinvertebrate assessment of the lake
following Ontario Benthic Biomonitoring Network (OBBN) protocol using samples
collected in the fall of 2022. The goal of this assessment is to contribute to a 5-year
study establishing the baseline conditions of Bob Lake and the benthic invertebrate
communities that inhabit it. Only one year has been completed prior to the submission
of this report, which accounts for the second year. The results of this research will
contribute to lake monitoring data and advise the Bob Lake Association on future lake
management decisions. Using the random teaspoon sampling method, we identified
100 invertebrates from each replicate of the three sites sampled. We then evaluated the
results of each site using several indices of species diversity and richness. Our
evaluation shows that the lake conditions are within a normal range for the Haliburton
area, but the remaining three years of this study must be completed to effectively
confirm these results.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Through assessing the quality of Halls Lake, we hope to develop a more thorough understanding of its health. We further hope to contribute to baseline data that can be used for long term studies and assessment of Halls Lake by the HHLPOA. While this lake has been sampled in previous years, there is currently not enough data to draw conclusions on any trends in water quality. Therefore, the goal of this study is not only to assess current water quality health, but to add to lake data so that trends and conclusions can be made in the future.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This community-based research project focuses on evaluating the baseline composition of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in Grace Lake as part of the Woodlands and Waterways EcoWatch initiative. Benthic macroinvertebrates, small aquatic organisms inhabiting the sediment at the bottom of water bodies, serve as indicators of water quality due to their sensitivity to environmental stressors. The project involved sampling benthic macroinvertebrates and assessing water quality at three sites in Grace Lake. The identified invertebrates were categorized into 27 groups, and various indices were calculated to assess the lake's ecological condition. The results indicate that Grace Lake exhibits typical conditions compared to other lakes in the Haliburton Region. The ongoing data collection will contribute to establishing a five-year baseline dataset and enable the detection of any future negative trends in water quality or ecological integrity.

Benthic macroinvertebrate assessment of Kabakwa lake
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Kabakwa Lake’s 2023 Benthic Macroinvertebrate Water Quality Assessment was completed as part of an aquatic biomonitoring program by U-Links in conjunction with Kabakwa Lake owners, such as Bill Forbes. The 2023 visitation was the third year of sampling, which contributed to the long-term dataset required to determine water quality trends. Benthic macroinvertebrates (hereafter, benthos) are invertebrates that spend most or all of their lives in water which can make them susceptible to organic pollution (Jones et al., 2006; Borisko et al, 2007). Benthos in conjunction with water chemistry data can be used to access the health of a lake (Carbone et al, 1998).
This summary seeks to provide stakeholders with a preliminary indication of the health of Kabakwa Lake (hereafter, Kabakwa). This is done though explaining what the benthos community assemblage infers about the current water quality of Kabakwa. The objectives for 2023 include (1) collecting benthos through a modified OBBN sampling protocol; (2) identifying collected benthos in lab and sorting them into OBBN groupings; (3) quantifying each group using metrics to determine abundance, richness, and diversity; (4) interpreting the results to provide an assessment of Kabakwa’s water quality.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Ontario Benthic Biomonitoring Network (OBBN) employs an effects-based approach using macroinvertebrate-based sampling to assess ecosystem health. This study utilizes benthic macroinvertebrates as bioindicators to understand the ecosystem health of Koshlong Lake in Ontario. The OBBN protocol categorizes macroinvertebrates into 27 groups based on taxonomic classification, providing a comprehensive understanding of the benthic community. Water chemistry analysis and examination of macroinvertebrate diversity and abundance calculations are also included, with the results being contrasted against proportions of sensitive taxa and their correlated "typical" ranges for the region. The presence of the invasive Spiny Waterflea is noted but not extensively studied in this project. Furthermore, diversity index values align with observations from other lakes in the region, indicating a healthy ecosystem. However, additional data collected over at least five years is necessary to establish long-term trends and determine if the observed values represent typical conditions for Koshlong Lake. Collaborating with the Koshlong Lake Association, this study provides valuable insights into the stressors and overall health of the lake ecosystem.

Trent University has partnered with U-Links Centre for Community-Based Research to prepare this study for the Halls & Hawks Lake Property Owner’s Association. The association, which released its initial Lake Management Plan in 2006, has identified the need for a long-term benthos biomonitoring program. This biomonitoring program is intended to assist the association and community partners in gaining a better understanding of the health of their lakes and to provide baseline data for future studies. The Halls & Hawks Lake Property Owner’s Association defines their vision as “a place where water quality, wildlife habitat, natural beauty, recreational opportunities, peace and tranquility are maintained and improved for present and future generations to enjoy” in their 2006 Lake Management Plan Executive Summary.
