Environmental concerns in the Bay of Quinte were due to excess nutrients, persistent toxic contamination, bacterial contamination and the loss or destruction of fish and wildlife habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ OUR LATEST <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/23681d6d5028\/bqrap-newsletter-september-9702829?e=1c387abee4\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mailchi.mp\/23681d6d5028\/bqrap-newsletter-september-9702829?e=1c387abee4\">&#8220;WATERLOGS&#8221;<\/a> NEWSLETTER<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;(click logo above to enter the BQRAP website) The Bay of Quinte was designated an Area of Concern in 1985 by the International Joint Commission (a Canadian-American Great Lakes watch dog), under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between Canada and the United States.&nbsp;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-organizations"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturestuff.net\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturestuff.net\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturestuff.net\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturestuff.net\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturestuff.net\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/naturestuff.net\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1767,"href":"https:\/\/naturestuff.net\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278\/revisions\/1767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturestuff.net\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturestuff.net\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturestuff.net\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
