The Strategy strives to create a more sustainable waterfront by using an ecosystem approach to increase ecological integrity, to provide suitable conditions for the maintenance of self-sustaining aquatic communities and to improve ecological connectivity. The Strategy emphasizes conservation design based on native and naturalized species. It takes into account human uses of the shoreline and nearshore waters and it was developed using a consultative, consensus-based approach involving stakeholders and the general public. The overall goal of the Strategy is "to develop and achieve consensus on an aquatic habitat restoration strategy that will maximize the potential ecological integrity of the Toronto waterfront".
Toronto Waterfront Aquatic Habitat Restoration Strategy (TWAHRS) has a wealth of information on current conditions of the Toronto Waterfront providing critical information for the design of any project. The strategy also provides design suggestions for different types of habitat in different environments. The strategy is very useful for proponents doing in water work on the Toronto Waterfront.
