HELP the EELS

Follow the Ontario Guidelines on Conserving the eels:

As followed in Wildlife and Nature:

Report a Sighting

• The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry tracks species at risk such as the American Eel. Report a sighting of an endangered animal or plant to the Natural Heritage Information Centre. Photographs with specific locations or mapping coordinates are always helpful.

• Contact your local Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry office for more information about programs such as CFWIP (Community Fisheries and Wildlife Improvement Program).

Volunteer

• Volunteer with your local nature club or provincial park to participate in surveys or stewardship work focused on species at risk.

Be a good steward

• Private land owners have a very important role to play in species recovery. You may be eligible for stewardship programs that support the protection and recovery of species at risk and their habitats.

Report illegal activity

• Report any illegal activity related to plants and wildlife to 1-877-TIPSMNR (8477667).
