McMaster Biology Professor and ecologist Patricia Chow-Fraser says the preservation and protection of our wetlands is vital because once degraded, their value as green infrastructure can never be fully recovered.
Over the past decade, leading McMaster researchers have been teaming up with communities in Hamilton and beyond to tackle local water issues through a number of innovative projects funded by the RBC Blue Water Foundation.
Pat Chow-Fraser has spent her career researching the health of water, fish and wildlife in the streams and coastal areas of the Great Lakes basin, and working with communities and environmental agencies alike to monitor, restore and protect the aquatic ecosystems it sustains.
