Want to help the Grass Pickerel, the Bridle Shiner and the Pugnose Shiner?

What can the public do to help the Grass Pickerel? 

- Community run initiatives to help re-plant native vegetation in the locations that are suffering the most 
- Increasing awareness of this fish species with the public may also help to prevent its classification from worsening
- Spread the word! Advocate for fisherman to not be allowed to commercially fish the Grass Pickerel 


Help the Bridle Shiner

- Educate the community and your peers on the Eurasian Watermilfoil, an invasive species that is abundant in the waters of the Kingston region, and about the damage it does to fish habitats
- Educating the public on how to identify the invasive plant would be the first step
- Avoid planting this invasive species 
- Remove or report any sightings of the Eurasian Watermilfoil
