A project to characterize important coastal habitats on the north shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary was funded for a period of 4 years (2018-2022). The purpose of this project is to generate reference ecological data to draw a global portrait of the state of coastal marshes in the upper north shore sector of Quebec.
This dataset covers the area of the Baie de Mille-Vaches marsh, also known as Pointe à Boisvert (Municipality of Longue-Rive). In order to improve knowledge of this ecosystem, flora and fauna (ichthyological and benthic) inventories have been carried out and the various abiotic factors characterized. Geomorphological data was also collected, but is not included in this dataset. However, they remain available, contact the ZIP Committee of the North Shore of the Estuary (RNE) directly to access them. The ZIP RNE Committee also holds orthomosaics of the marsh.
It is possible to consult the five other marsh datasets that were characterized as part of the project to characterize important coastlines:
This project is part of the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program Initiative under the Oceans Protection Plan of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
