Geomorphological and Surrounding Characterization of Kamouraska Bay (2012)

The comité ZIP carried out a biophysical characterization of the Baie de Kamouraska in 2012. This area shows particularities, particularly in the marsh, which shows signs of erosion and the presence of aboiteau (dike), which conditions the drainage of agricultural land and the evolution of the marsh.

An inventory of flora and avian fauna was carried out. A coastal characterization, including the state of the coast, was carried out, as well as a historical analysis of the evolution of the coast from 1961 to 2012. Recommendations and examples on renaturalizing diked areas (depolderization) have been proposed.
