The Salt Marsh of the Rivière Brochu (Gallix) - Characterization of Important Coastal Habitats on the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence | Le marais salé de la Rivière Brochu (Gallix) - Caractérisation des habitats littoraux d'importance de la Côte-Nord du golfe du Saint-Laurent

The purpose of this project is to generate ecological reference data to draw a global portrait of the state of coastal marshes in the Côte-Nord sector of Quebec, as part of the Coastal Environmental Reference Data Program, funded by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, funded by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The program to characterize coastal wetlands in the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence was subsidized for a period of 4 years (2023-2027).

This dataset covers the salt marsh area from Rivière Brochu to Gallix. In order to acquire as much knowledge as possible about the North Shore territory, the Comité ZIP Côte-Nord du Golfe (ZIP CNG) carried out ichthyological and floristic inventories, and characterized the physicochemical parameters as well as the abiotic factors of the marsh in the summer of 2023. Ce projet a pour but de générer des données écologiques de référence pour tracer un portrait global de l'état des marais littoraux dans le secteur de la Côte-Nord du Québec, dans le cadre du Programme sur les données environnementales côtières de référence, financé par le ministère Pêches et Océans Canada.
