JASON SETNYKAfter decades of environmental monitoring, scientists say the St. Lawrence River near Cornwall and Akwesasne is showing clear signs of recovery-especially when it comes to fish tumours once linked to industrial pollution. A public presentation on fish tumours in the St. Lawrence River drew residents to Schnitzels European Flavours on August 20, where the River Institute shared promising new findings about local fish health. Historically designated as “Impaired” due to high levels of industrial pollutants causing liver tumours in fish like brown bullhead, recent studies now show significant improvement. After this, we’ll have six left.”Harquail emphasized that the decline in industrially linked tumours doesn’t mean all fish deformities are gone. But those aren’t linked to historical industrial pollution, which is what this BUI specifically addresses.”Community feedback plays a crucial role.
