Book Description

In the St. Lawrence, wetlands are primarily concentrated in the freshwater fluvial section. Due to their diverse characteristics, the dynamics of these riparian wetlands were analysed on a sector-by-sector basis. Six government partners Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Canadian Space Agency, Parks Canada Agency, the Ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement et des Parcs du Québec, the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune du Québec, and Stratégies Saint-Laurent, a nongovernmental organization that works actively with riverside communities, are pooling their expertise and efforts to provide Canadians with information on the state of the St. Lawrence and longterm trends affecting it. To this end, environmental indicators have been developed on the basis of data collected as part of each organization's ongoing environmental monitoring activities.--Includes text from document.
