Indication of good lake water Emerald shiners, not seen in years, spotted in the Ausable River in Grand Bend show an indication of good water quality. "It is a clear indication that things are changing," says David Reid, Lake Management Supervisor, Lake Huron. Local residents noticed the minnows earlier this month and contacted the Lakeshore Advance. Staff from Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) were surprised at the mass amount of the fish. http://www.lakeshoreadvance.com/Local%20News/269372.html
