[Review 2020] The information covered in these five pages is an excellent summary of some of the key issues for the Great Lakes and the Bay of Quinte. The challenge, as with all factual content, is that it becomes dated. While this account is good up to the early 2000s, so much has changed since then – a prime example is the discussed concern over the low water levels, while today the issue is over high water levels. A 2020 review of this report was performed by an expert in the field, Dr. Timothy Johnson. This review adds clarification but leaves the integrity of the 2007 data intact.
