I recently received an update on the Long Point Causeway Improvement Project. Currently the Long Point World Biosphere Reserve Foundation is looking for ecotourism consultants to help continue their work. This community based project is aiming to revitalize a 3.5 kilometre-long causeway that links the Long Point Peninsula on Lake Erie with mainland southern Ontario.
The first step in this planwas to launch a feasibility study of potential improvements that would reduce wildlife mortality and restore thehydrological connections between Big Creek Marsh and Long Point Inner Bay.
They are now seeking to do an ecotourism study for the region and to develop an economic argument for the benefits that improvements to the causeway could potentialy have on recreational opportunities, rural character and community well being.
A copy of the completed feasibility study can be found on their website at www.longpointcauseway.com . It was released in April 2008. A scientific stdy completed by the Canadian Wildlife Service on road mortality linked to the causeway can also be found on the same website.
