Characterization of Estuarine Wetlands in Charlevoix (2015)

Other

As part of the Water Policy and Integrated Management of the St. Lawrence, the Zone d’Intervention Prioritaire (ZIP) Saguenay has commissioned the Bureau of applied ecology to carry out a project to characterize wetlands and inventory of wild dumps in the river section included within the MRC of Charlevoix. Thus, several bays, coves, and shores in the Cap-aux-Oies, Saint-Joseph-de-la-Rive, Isle-aux-Coudres, Baie-Saint-Paul, and Petite-Rivière-Saint-François sectors have been characterized. A description of the sites, an identification of the elements of interest and disturbances, an inventory of wild dumps, and an identification of herbaceous gardens have been carried out, thus allowing the proposal of mitigation measures to be taken.

This project was made possible thanks to the contribution of the Community Interactions Program (PIC). Funding for this joint program, linked to the St. Lawrence Action Plan 2011-2016, is shared between Environment Canada and the Ministry of Développement Durable, de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les Changements Climatiques.
