This dataset is a visual characterization of the banks of the Saint-Lawrence River that was based on a sampling protocol of the Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP).
This characterization is done on the territory of the Comité ZIP Les Deux Rives which extends from the city of Trois-Rivières to Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, on the north shore, and between municipal boundaries of Bécancour and Deschaillons-sur-Saint-Laurent, on the south shore. The characterization of the riparian stripes provided a portrait of land use, development and erosion on the shores of the St. Lawrence River.
