Memphré Threatened By Canadians

Posted by: Loren Coleman on September 8th, 2006

Quebec’s and Vermont’s shared Lake Memphremagog monsters, Memphré, are being challenged by the removal of conservation lands and expansion of landfills, from the Canadian side. Where is Jacques Boisvert when we need him?

Memphré monster hunter, scuba diver, historian, and ecologist Jacques Boisvert’s sudden death on February 4, 2006, at age 73, was untimely, and it now has become obvious his work lives on in the challenges that face his favorite cryptid. (See Boisvert’s Cryptomundo obituary here.)

Jacques Boisvert

According to the September 2006 issue of the Magog, Quebec newspaper The Outlet, the Memphremagog Conservation Association (MCA) has raised grave concern over the Canadian government’s plan to sell off portions of Mount Orford Park (which sets on the shore of Lake Memphremagog) for development purposes. The group also is worried about a plan to expand two landfill sites, both of which empties into Lake Memphremagog. The lake, of course, is the home of Memphré, the aquatic cryptids that the late Boisvert studied, searched for, and wrote about for most of his life.

Jacques Boisvert was remembered at the August 5th meeting of the MCA when the Memphremagog Conservation, Inc. gave one of the lake’s most ardent advocates the Gordon Kohl Environment Award posthumously.

Let us hope, in the name of Memphré and Boisvert, some of these radical Canadian development plans, which would impact the lake on both sides of the border, are reconsidered. After all, what’s next? An attack on Champ’s habitat in Lake Champlain, which is located in Vermont, New York, and Quebec?

This is very worrying news. It is hard enough to search out unknown creatures without these sorts of setbacks. I often wonder how many cryptids are out there that became extinct before they even had a chance to be discovered. I hope the possible cryptid living in this lake does not meet this fate.

Let’s not forget more than half of the people in that region of the Québec province are freaking out at the news and still protesting and working against the clock to stop the sale.

If they do this to lake memphre it will destroy all the research to prove memphre exists. Researchers have studied memphre for years this would be a shame if the do this to this lake. Maybe what they should before the lake is ruined is get a fully equipped submarine to prove the existence of memphre and also to find out what kind of marine animal memphre is.

Are there any photos of this cryptid?

How do we know that the monster’s habitat is being threatened when we don’t even know if the monster exists? The logic is escaping me.

Monster or no, habitat destruction is terrible. It’s bad for everything that lives (or might live) there, from monster to minnow.

I think THAT we can almost all agree on, no?

Especially when actions on one side of a border can impact folks with no say on the other side of the lake.

Re: #6
You’d have to admit though Ben, it’d be pretty ironic to have the existence of a lake monster proved when the corpse floated to the surface due to pollution, no?
