vii ## The Detroit River as a Canadian Heritage River EXECUTIVE SUMMARY...continued Human Heritage Actions • Identify historical resources as a first step in developing a human heritage conservation strategy. • Ensure human heritage values are reflected in municipal policies, Official Plans and zoning by-laws. • Ensure human heritage values are integrated into recreation, transportation and other plans. • Develop local and international tours and other activities such as websites. Recreation Actions • Plan and develop a Riverfront ‘parkway’. • Develop and implement the Essex Region Eco-tourism Strategy with a Detroit River component. • Develop joint international recreational activities and events. Natural Heritage/Environmental Clean-up Actions • Expand implementation of water quality remediation work plans. • Continue habitat restoration projects. • Coordinate and expand watershed – wide water quality monitoring. • Recognize and support environmental clean-up efforts undertaken by industrial interests. • Protect natural features through municipal planning documents and other policies. • Encourage greater public involvement in environmental clean-up activities. • Coordinate and expand watershed-wide air quality monitoring and remediation programs. This Management Strategy reflects a consensus of a broad cross section of community stakeholders from both sides of the River, and is a testament to the community’s willingness to get involved with the Detroit River. The strategy will be an advisory document only, and will not affect any treaties and/or rights accruing to First Nations peoples. Since the Management Strategy is a ‘living document’, it will continue to evolve and respond to the changing needs of the watershed community. This will enable the community to maintain an ongoing role in building a sustainable future for the Detroit River watershed, a future that is environmentally sound, culturally vibrant and economically prosperous.
