Munuscong River Watershed

Watersheds Management

The Munuscong River Watershed drains into the St. Marys River, an economically essential waterway connecting Lake Superior and Lake Huron as well as separating Canada and the United States. The Munuscong River Watershed Management Plan highlights nonpoint source pollution as the main contributor to degrading watershed health. Some of the primary objectives outlined in the plan are as follows

• Work with agriculture landowners to improve management practices
• Replace deteriorating culverts to improve the facilitation of flood events
• Plant and establish trees and shrubs to reduce erosion and sediment runoff
