CTD Data From the Winter Concerted Mission Aboard the CCGS Amundsen (MHG2024): Mission Horizon Glacé 2024

[**Mission Horizon glacé 2024**](https://www.rqm.quebec/missions-concertees/mission-horizon-glace/) is a concerted, intersectoral mission aimed at studying the Saguenay Fjord during the winter season. This 15-day mission took place aboard the CCGS Amundsen and is a collaboration between the [*Research Program for the Mitigation of Impacts of Commercial Navigation on Ecosystems*](https://www.rqm.quebec/PLAINE/) (PLAINE) of the *Réseau Québec maritime* (RQM) and the [*Transforming climate action*](https://www.uqar.ca/recherche/unites-de-recherche/transforming-climate-action-an-ocean-focused-approach-tca-program/) (TCA) program of the *UQAR-ISMER*. It brought together 30 researchers and 13 research projects to explore the impacts of navigation on ecosystems, and the role of the ocean in climate changes.

During the mission, 15 vertical CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth) profiles were carried out in the water column of the Saguenay fjord between the cities of Tadoussac and Saguenay. These profiles were made with a SeaBird 911plus CTD-rosette from around 2 m from the surface to maximum depths of 55 to 214 m (stations 29 and 33 respectively). Continuous measurements of temperature, electrical conductivity (salinity), pressure, oxygen concentration, fluorescence, light attenuation, and irradiance were taken in the water column. Measurements from these probes were calibrated for dissolve oxygen concentration (Winkler chemical titration), fluorescence (chlorophyll-a concentration), and salinity (Guildline 8410A salinometer) from discrete water samples taken at the different stations. Transmissivity was normalized to 100%, and irradiance measurements were corrected according to the reference irradiance measured at the surface.

Macrofauna, Sediment Characteristics, and Benthic Biogeochemical Fluxes Across a Coastal Breakwater System

The dataset includes measurements of macrofaunal community structure (density, biomass, species richness, and functional traits), sediment characteristics (grain size distribution, porosity, organic matter content, organic carbon and total nitrogen concentrations, delta 13C), porewater oxygen and nutrient concentrations (nitrate, ammonium, phosphate), and benthic fluxes of oxygen and nutrients. Total denitrification and coupled nitrification–denitrification rates were quantified using the isotope pairing technique.

Sampling was conducted in June 2021 and June 2022, at the onset of the saltmarsh growing season. The data represent discrete observations, with short-term incubations performed under controlled laboratory conditions.

The study was carried out in an intertidal saltmarsh located in Rivière-du-Loup Bay, within the St. Lawrence Estuary (Quebec, Canada). Five sites were sampled, including locations behind the breakwater, immediately seaward of the structure, and lateral to it, as well as natural reference sites with and without vegetation. Biogeochemical fluxes and sediment processes were measured on intact sediment cores in the laboratory.

These data support the assessment of how coastal artificialization through breakwater construction alters benthic ecosystem functioning, with a specific focus on nitrogen cycling. The dataset informs whether modified, unconsolidated mud habitats can sustain benthic fluxes and denitrification rates comparable to those of natural saltmarshes, thereby contributing to evaluations of functional resilience and trade-offs in coastal protection strategies.
