Lower Churchill Wildlife Mercury Monitoring
The 2016 objective of this project is to complete baseline monitoring of egg mercury concentrations in common tern, ring-billed gull and other marine birds nesting in Lake Melville, prior to the flooding of the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric reservoir in 2017. Egg collections have been made since 2013 to establish baseline mercury levels before flooding. The long-term objective of this monitoring project is to assess the downstream impacts of the Muskrat Falls reservoir on mercury in migratory birds in Lake Melville.
