Aquatic littoral habitat in the Greater Toronto Area has been exposed to a multitude of environmental and anthropogenic stressors ranging from increased urbanization and shoreline development to being exposed to aquatic invasive species. Habitat degradation led to the Toronto Waterfront being listed as an Area of Concern in 1987. Extensive shoreline and riparian habitat restoration has been implemented by the city as part of the Toronto and Region Remedial Action Plan in conjunction with different ministries and NGOs. The overall objective of these restoration efforts is to increase fish, bird, and wildlife habitat. A key aspect of current fish habitat restoration efforts, monitored by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, is to account for long-term community changes within the target ecosystem to better understand changes on a larger spatial scale. This waterfront-wide evaluation allows us to detect overall changes along the waterfront and can be beneficial to understand community changes happening at an ecosystem level when implementing and monitoring restoration projects.
