Saint-Nicolas Bay - Characterization of Important Shoreline Habitats on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence Maritime Estuary
A project to characterize important littoral habitats on the north shore of the St. Lawrence maritime estuary has been funded for a 4-year period (2023-2027). The aim of the project is to generate baseline ecological data to provide an overall picture of the state of littoral habitats along the north shore of the maritime estuary.
The dataset covers the Grande Baie Saint-Nicolas area (municipality of Franquelin). In order to improve our knowledge of this ecosystem, floristic and faunal (ichthyological) inventories were carried out and the various abiotic factors characterized.
It is possible to consult the four other datasets of important littoral habitats that have been characterized as part of the project to characterize important littoral habitats:
- Mistassini River Estuary
- The Maison de la Faune Coastal Marsh
- Henri-Grenier Bay Coastal Marsh
- Ragueneau Islands Archipelago Coastal Marshes
This project is part of the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program Initiative under the Oceans Protection Plan of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
