This report assesses the economic value of the Credit River fishery, and specifically, angling activity.
The study uses a survey of residents in the Credit River Watershed to determine exactly how natural areas contribute to their wellbeing. These include the role of natural areas in the provision of ecosystem services which maintain or enhance human well-being, and in the provision of physical, mental, and social wellbeing.
Appendix A of “Towards a Natural Heritage System for the Credit River Watershed: Final Technical Report”. Includes maps associated with the characterization and assessment of existing conditions in the Credit River Watershed for Phase 1 and 2 of the Natural Heritage System Strategy.

This report (phase 1) details valuing wetland ecosystem services in the Credit River Watershed. This report summarizes the literature about: (i) identifying/ quantifying wetland ecosystem services; (ii) assessing the impact that human activities/actions have on these services; and (iii) estimating the economic value provided by these services.
This report (phase 2) estimates the value of retaining and restoring wetland services in the Credit River Watershed using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM).
This document is a summary of the 2017 vulnerability assessment report of the effects of climate change on water systems within the Region of Peel.
The wetland hydrological assessment method is an approach to characterize the hydrological regime in wetlands, for the purpose of monitoring hydrological and ecological change and guiding management and mitigation against impacts.
This is an Environmental Benefit Index (EBI) calculator developed to measure the benefits of potential wetland restoration projects.
