Wellers Bay National Wildlife Area Management Plan: chapter 11

10 Collaborators

Environment and Climate Change Canada works with local landowners, communities, government and non-government agencies and sector organizations to protect and conserve wildlife species and their habitats in the National Wildlife Areas (NWA), and contribute to conservation of the broader Wellers Bay Coastal Sand Spit and Wellers Bay.

For instance, collaborations could be developed or pursued with universities and research centres to fill scientific knowledge gaps, with the province to implement species-at-risk recovery measures, particularly for species under provincial jurisdiction, with non-governmental organizations and municipal authorities to increase public awareness of the objectives of the NWA. The main organizations likely to collaborate in the management of Wellers Bay NWA include:

1. Department of National Defence
2. Fisheries and Oceans Canada
3. Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry
4. Quinte Conservation
5. Municipality of Prince Edward County
6. Friends of Wellers Bay
7. Private campground and tourism operators in Wellers Bay
