Description A project to characterize important coastal habitats on the north shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary was funded for a period of 4 years (2018-2022). The purpose of this project is to generate reference ecological data to draw a global portrait of the state of coastal marshes in the upper north shore sector of Quebec. This dataset covers the Hickey (Colombier) marsh area and associated wetlands. In order to improve knowledge of these ecosystems, a floristic and ichthyological inventory was carried out and the various abiotic factors characterized. Geomorphological data has also been collected, but it is not included in this dataset. However, they remain available by contacting directly the *Comité ZIP de la Rive Nord de l'Estuaire* (RNE) to have access to them. The ZIP RNE Committee holds orthomosaics from the site under study. It is possible to consult the datasets of the five other marshes that have been characterized as part of the project to characterize important coastlines: - [**The Portneuf-sur-Mer Marsh**](https://catalogue.ogsl.ca/en/dataset/ca-cioos_5374b582-43aa-4ffa-8361-4a0d9f1f6b8e) - [**The Mille-Vaches Bay Marsh**](https://catalogue.ogsl.ca/en/dataset/ca-cioos_f10f496a-acf4-4274-9c7b-7a005bcf54ed) - [**The Pointe-aux-Outardes Marsh**](https://catalogue.ogsl.ca/en/dataset/ca-cioos_46d3ba2e-2fd3-4aad-a51a-f8343fbe6a73) - [**The Bays des Grandes and Petites Bergeronnes marsh**](https://catalogue.ogsl.ca/en/dataset/ca-cioos_a5125bd3-60e3-4c89-89b6-2d3a8728d10f) - [**The pointe des Fortin marsh**](https://catalogue.ogsl.ca/en/dataset/ca-cioos_3b8c6d97-6eb8-4e8d-9869-ccb2b9bab5f3) This project is part of Fisheries and Ocean Canada's Coastal Environmental Baseline Program.
