Invasive Species Surface Mapping Project
Working with Quinte Conservation, trained volunteers from MLPOA, will conduct lake surface mapping of invasive species from boats or along shorelines.

Walleye Spawning Bed Rejuvenation
Following from recommendations in our walleye population report (see below), a preliminary assessment o f walleye spawning beds was completed in August 2025. As a result, in October 2025, Moira Lake was selected by Watersheds Canada to participate in a Spawning Bed Rejuvenation Project. Planning work will begin in spring 2026 with project delivery in early fall.
Spring - Early Summer 2026

Governance & Strategic Planning Project
In 2024–2025, the MLPOA Board led a project to modernize the Association’s governance and planning.

Walleye Population Study
After many anecdotal comments about the state of the walleye population in Moira Lake, the MLPOA completed extensive research into the current situation. The report presents a comprehensive analysis of the factors contributing to the decline of the lake’s walleye population and proposes actionable strategies for its recovery. The report was submitted to the MNR in February 2025.
