The Comité ZIP Côte-Nord du Golfe is a non-profit organization that is part of a network of 13 ZIP committees across Québec. Founded in 1996, it was the 10th ZIP committee to be formed. Like all ZIP committees, it is an organization that brings together various stakeholders: businesses, citizens, environmental groups, municipalities and social organizations. Its members have as common objectives to protect and enhance the St. Lawrence, to raise awareness of environmental issues and to encourage concrete actions for the ecological rehabilitation of the river.
The territory of the Comité ZIP Côte-Nord du Golfe extends from the Calumet River, west of Port-Cartier to Blanc-Sablon, including Anticosti Island.
