Description
In order to address freshwater issues in the basin, the Lake Winnipeg Basin Program (LWBP) will take action to reduce excessive nutrients – such as phosphorus – from entering the lake, will enhance collaboration throughout the basin and support the engagement of Indigenous Peoples on freshwater issues.The LWBP has committed $8 million in application-based funding to continue its support for targeted, outcome-focused actions that address at least one of the three program priorities: nutrient reduction: support targeted stakeholder delivered projects in the Lake Winnipeg Basin, in key geographic areas, that demonstrate an effective means to reduce phosphorus loading and increase public knowledge and engagement; collaborative governance: encourage and strengthen collaborative efforts to reduce nutrients throughout the Lake Winnipeg Basin; Indigenous engagement: enhance opportunities, capacity and the engagement of Indigenous governments, organizations and communities on Lake Winnipeg Basin nutrient issues.
