Aquaculture, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St. Lawrence System

As aquaculture sites are managed at the provincial level in the St. Lawrence, data on aquaculture sites come from various source. Invertebrates aquaculture is especially important in the southern and western Gulf. Fish and algae aquaculture, on the other hand, remains marginal. Considering this, we only included invertebrates aquaculture for the aquaculture driver layer.

Aquaculture activities are highly localized and potential effects do not or rarely extend beyond the location of the farms. We therefore only considered the location of sites to characterize the distribution of this driver.

It is possible to consult the scientific report of the eDrivers project: Characterizing Exposure to and Sharing Knowledge of Drivers of Environmental Change in the St. Lawrence System in Canada and the additional data. It is possible to consult the application eDrivers.
