The understory kelp biomass dataset is a component of Hakai Institute’s Nearshore research and monitoring program. This dataset characterizes spatial and temporal trends in understory kelps and kelp-consuming invertebrate communities at 22 rocky bottom subtidal sites near Calvert Island on the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada (2014-now). Data coverage varies by year. The total length and abundance of all kelps, Desmarestia species, and urchins were measured at 6 sites seasonally (5 times within a year) from 2014-2018. Urchin behaviour was also recorded. From 2016-current, additional sites (4-15) were surveyed annually using a variation on the sampling design (reduced measurements on a subset of sites). In 2018-current kelp consumer species abundance, including small mobile grazing invertebrates, were recorded. Dry weight values and length to weight relations are also provided to extrapolate density and morphology data to biomass. Spatial and temporal variability in kelp and invertebrate community relationships is described.

Temporal coverage: 1998-01-01/..

The Atlantic Zone Off-Shelf Monitoring Program (AZOMP) collects and analyzes physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic observations from the continental slope and deep basins of the Northwest Atlantic, with the overarching goal of monitoring variability in ocean climate and plankton affecting ecosystems off Atlantic Canada and climate systems at both regional and global scales. 

Annual measurements in the Labrador Sea began in 1990 as a contribution to the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) and have evolved into a multidisciplinary regional monitoring effort and part of the Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP).

AZOMP's sampling scheme off Atlantic Canada and the Labrador Sea involves annual sampling of both the Atlantic Repeat 7-West (AR7W) line, a 880 km-line running across the Labrador Sea from Labrador to Greenland coast and extended Halifax Line, deep-water stations over the Scotian Slope and Rise located at the end of AZMP’s Halifax Line. Opportunistic sampling also may occur at stations in the Strait of Belle Ilse, station 27, Labrador Shelf, and OSNAP West line in support of ancillary research programs and initiatives. In addition XBTs and Argo floats are commonly deployed and vessel-mounted ADCP is used to determine water masses structures at a smaller scale. Deep-water oceanographic moorings are also deployed in the Labrador Sea, mostly in the Hamilton Bank region and OSNAP West Line and on the Scotian Slope.   Time series data is used for comparison with the numerical model transport estimates of the Nova Scotia and the Labrador Current.  

The data collected are synthesized into annual reports on the physical, chemical and biological changes in Atlantic Canadian waters and the Labrador Sea. One primary focus is on changes in the intensity of winter overturning of surface and intermediate-depth waters resulting in deep water mass formation and is part of the thermohaline circulation that affects the global climate. Convection also transfers atmospheric gases from the surface to intermediate depths, reducing the rate of increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere but increasing the acidity of the ocean.

Temporal coverage: 2009-01-01/2009-10-31

The north shore of the estuary has a great wealth that is accessible in most municipalities: magnificent sandy beaches that extend for tens of kilometers. In order to minimize the deterioration of the most fragile sectors and to mitigate the negative impacts of the use of beaches by humans, the ZIP Committee and its partners decided that it was essential first and foremost to establish an action plan aimed at the protection and/or restoration of beaches experiencing the greatest sources of disturbance.

The objective of this report is to present the main issues specific to beaches on the North Shore. In order to meet this objective, in 2009, 26 beaches on the north shore of the estuary were visited and characterized. For each of them, the following information was noted: the nature of the soil, the relief, the vegetation present, the length and width of the accesses, the presence of reception and awareness-raising facilities and the morphology of each beach. Particular attention was paid to the observation of environmental issues. Subsequently, the measures and recommendations to be taken for the sustainable maintenance of these coastal habitats were identified.

This project was made possible thanks to a financial contribution of $ 38,800 from the Hydro-Québec Foundation for the Environment and with the collaboration of the City of Rimouski.

During this project, boardwalks were installed on the shoreline to limit the trampling of seaside plants in the Saint-Germain Est, Pointe-à-Pouliot, and Sentier du Littoral parks. Restoration of the beaches damaged by trampling will also be carried out by plantations of American wild Lyme grass and rose bushes. 

In addition, to make coastal users aware of the fragility of beaches in urban areas, awareness-raising activities will also be carried out, with particular emphasis on the role of natural beaches as a means of protection against erosion and coastal flooding.
