Portrait of socio-economic and ecological issues in the Territory of the North Coast of the Gulf

The Comité Zone d’Intervention Prioritaire Côte-Nord du Golfe (ZIP CNG) was mandated by the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) to produce portraits of the environmental and socio-economic issues of various municipalities in its territory of action to be considered in sectoral planning. The objective is to better know the territory in order to adequately plan the management of maritime risks and the response in the event of maritime incidents, such as oil spills or spills of other pollutants. A portrait of the Anticosti Island territory was produced in 2022, then of Port-Cartier in 2025. These portraits compile all available abiotic, wildlife, floristic and socio-economic data for the areas in question.
