The Pointe des Fortin Marsh - Characterization of Important Coastal Habitats on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary

10.26071/ogsl-3b8c6d97-6eb8

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:

This project is part of the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program under the Oceans Protection Plan of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
