Henri-Grenier Bay Coastal Marsh - 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 this 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 salt marsh of Baie Henri-Grenier (municipality of Pointe-Lebel). To improve knowledge of this ecosystem, floristic and faunal (ichthyological) inventories were carried out and the various abiotic factors characterized. Orthomosaics of the coastal marsh in this area have been generated, but are not included in this dataset. Please contact the Rive Nord de l'Estuaire (RNE) ZIP Committee directly for access.

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
• Great Saint-Nicolas Bay
• 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.
