Following public consultation, a decision was made to proceed with the Lake Ontario Fish Community Objectives (PDF, 280 kb) to guide MNR's fisheries management decision making. No major policy changes were required as a result of the consultation. Responsibility for Lake Ontario fisheries management is shared by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) for the Province of Ontario and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) for the State of New York, as described in the Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries between the United States and Canada (Great Lakes Fishery Commission 1956). This policy proposal updates the 1999 goals and objectives for the Lake Ontario fish community established by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission’s (GLFC) Lake Ontario Committee. Canada and the United States have been managing the Lake Ontario fishery since 1955. To get people more involved in managing fish and the lake's ecosystem, an Advisory Council is now up and running on Lake Ontario.
