The
Net Gain Principle
has significant potential to lead us closer to improvements in the quality
of our environment and development that is sustainable. Pollution Probe has
researched, explored and produced publications on ways to develop and apply
this principle. We are currently working with the Toronto
and Region Conservation Authority
to determine ways to apply "net gain" in a local watershed context.
The
Ottawa-Gatineau Watershed Atlas
(OGWA) Project will integrate watershed management on both sides of
the Ottawa River in addition to providing a comprehensive public educational
tool to improve the management of one of the region’s most valuable
resources. The project will take an ecosystem approach, utilizing a
watershed boundary, rather than political boundaries, for the inclusion of
collaborating partners, data and information.
