Title The Pointe des Fortin Marsh - Characterization of Important Coastal Habitats on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary
Title Translation Method  
URL ca-cioos_3b8c6d97-6eb8-4e8d-9869-ccb2b9bab5f3
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 Pointe des Fortin swamp sector (Portneuf-sur-Mer Municipality). In order to improve knowledge of this ecosystem, floristic and faunal inventories (ichthyological and benthic) have been carried out and the various abiotic factors characterized. 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 Hickey marsh**](https://catalogue.ogsl.ca/en/dataset/ca-cioos_0925e105-860e-4fe7-83ac-afc5e4c2699e) This project is part of the Coastal Environmental Reference Data Program of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
