Perhaps the most important aspect of this fringe area is its character as a prime food source and breeding area for game fish (Maskinonge and Largemouth Bass) in the Trent walerway system. In addition marshlands around the lake can act similar 10 a large bloller by taking up and holding nutri- ents added te tbe systemn from. oulside sources. As such then the marshes may act as a restraining influence on eut- rophication and tbe deteri.or- ation of waler quality. Con- versly. the removal may in fact remove the brake and intensify sucb things as algae growtb and growth of sub- mergent aquatics. Wbat bas bappened 1e Ibese marsb areas that are so, important te the Kawartbas? Wbile il is true thal under natural conditions marsbes tend te advance and retreat over a period of lime, il is unlikely Ibat such massive changes would occur nalural- ly. Many small marsbes have disappeared under tbe drag- uine to reclaim land for development. In other cases channels bave been cul behind or tbrough marsbes for access Tbis disrupts the mal of vegetation on the surface facilitating peat erosion from underneath. Marsb can then drift, as apparently bappens regularly in Buckhorn Lake. The drifling marsh if it does not iodge in some suilabie shoreline area can be event- uaily broken up by wave action and disappear. Whei e marshland loss bas been extensive the remainder requires ahl the protection we can give it. Il sbould be protecled against additional deveiopment.
