DMON deployment for Offshore Halifax Testing. Slocum gliders are small, free-swimming, unmanned vehicles that use changes in buoyancy to move vertically and horizontally through the water column in a saw-tooth pattern. They are deployed for days to several months and gather detailed information about the physical, chemical and biological processes of the world's oceans.

Produced as part of the St. Lawrence Action Plan, the Atlas of coastal environments of interest for conservation in the estuary and gulf of St. Lawrence presents sites where the conservation needs are most pressing. Conservation targets (coarse filter) selected for this atlas are forested areas, inland wetlands, coastal marshes, and sandy environments, to which are added fine filter elements such as bird colonies, eelgrass beds, significant flora and fauna  (e.g., essential habitats of species at risk, winter concentration sites for Harlequin Duck, breeding and rearing habitat for Rainbow Smelt in the southern St. Lawrence estuary, etc.) and salmon rivers. Our objective being to determine the sites of interest until a 20% representativeness threshold was reached. Sites with high conservation interest were first selected, located within or adjacent to protected areas or exceptional forested ecosystems, sites hosting species at risk, sites bordering salmon rivers or those with unique ecological features. A prioritization analysis was then carried out on conservation targets using a multi-criteria analysis when the 20% representativeness threshold was not reached following the selection analysis.

The geospatial data associated with these sites are publicly available. This will allow users to visualize better the geographical location of the sites of interest and the conservation value associated with each habitat patch of the conservation targets (forested areas, inland wetlands, coastal marshes, and sandy environments) using geographic information systems (e.g., ArcGIS). Users will also have the opportunity to adapt the determination of sites of high conservation value given their own spatial territory and conservation objectives. Since the conservation of natural environments and species at risk is a shared responsibility, this atlas will address the priorities of numerous organizations involved in conserving coastal environments, i.e., conservation organizations, municipalities and RCMs, government organizations, and academic institutions.

Since 2004, the Réseau québécois d'urgences pour les mammifères marins (RQUMM) has recorded incidents involving marine mammals that died or experienced difficulties in the St. Lawrence River and the Gulf of St. Lawrence region of Quebec. It coordinates field operations and centralizes information on these incidents. The data are of the following nature: incident, carcass, stranding, entanglement.
Intertidal Temperature from Coastal Nova Scotia, Température Intertidale depuis la Côte de la Nouvelle-Écosse

Keywords: seasurfacetemperature, temperature-de-surface, intertidal, oceans, autre, other, temperature
Temporal coverage: 2014-04-14/2019-10-26

Intertidal habitats are unique because they spend alternating periods of submergence (at high tide) and emergence (at low tide) every day. Thus, intertidal temperature is mainly driven by sea surface temperature (SST) during high tides and by air temperature during low tides. Because of that, the switch from high to low tides and viceversa can determine rapid changes in intertidal thermal conditions. On cold-temperate shores, which are characterized by cold winters and warm summers, intertidal thermal conditions can also change considerably with seasons. Despite this uniqueness, knowledge on intertidal temperature dynamics is more limited than for open seas. This is especially true for wave-exposed intertidal habitats, which, in addition to the unique properties described above, are also characterized by wave splash being able to moderate intertidal thermal extremes during low tides. To address this knowledge gap, we measured temperature every half hour during a period of 5.5 years (2014-2019) at nine wave-exposed rocky intertidal locations along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. This data set is freely available from the figshare online repository (Scrosati and Ellrich, 2020a; https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.12462065.v1). We summarize the main properties of this data set by focusing on location-wise values of daily maximum and minimum temperature and daily SST, which we make freely available as a separate data set in figshare (Scrosati et al., 2020; https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.12453374.v1). Overall, this cold-temperate coast exhibited a wide annual SST range, from a lowest overall value of -1.8 °C in winter to a highest overall value of 22.8 °C in summer. In addition, the latitudinal SST trend along this coast experienced a reversal from winter (when SST increased southwards) to summer (when SST decreased southwards), seemingly driven by alongshore differences in summer coastal upwelling. Daily temperature maxima and minima were more extreme, as expected from their occurrence during low tides, ranging from a lowest overall value of -16.3 °C in winter to a highest overall value of 41.2 °C in summer. Daily maximum temperature in summer varied little along the coast, while daily minimum temperature in winter increased southwards. This data set is the first of its kind for the Atlantic Canadian coast and exemplifies in detail how intertidal temperature varies in wave-exposed environments on a cold-temperate coast.

This database details the location of vulnerability areas allowing to identify priority sectors to consider in the case of the event of an oil spill. For each of the targeted areas, different elements of vulnerability were taken into account. The identification of the zones was done on the whole territory of the Comité ZIP Les Deux Rives which extends from the city of Trois-Rivières to Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, on the north shore, and between municipal boundaries of Bécancour and Deschaillons-sur-Saint-Laurent, on the south shore.

This dataset contains an integrated coastal zone management plan and a cartographic compendium for the Gaspé Bay sector. The integrated management plan was prepared by the Baie-de-Gaspé Concertation Committee in collaboration with various partners. 

This report first provides a portrait of the territory with a description of the physical environments, ecological components, the historical portrait, the socio-economic components and then, the occupation of the territory. It also contains an action plan containing the main issues related to the coastal zone, as well as the actions to be implemented for the integrated management of Gaspé Bay. It is the product of a coastal committee, active from 2001 to 2006, and made up of representatives from various sectors of activity: municipal, environmental, economic, etc.

Kelp Canopy Extent - 2015 - NW Calvert Island - British Columbia - Canada

Digitized kelp extent, species, and density for NW Calvert Island in the summer of 2015.

This methodology outlines the procedure for obtaining and processing high-resolution imagery of the canopy-forming kelp beds in the Northwest Calvert Island area. It also includes the procedure for data analysis and metrics of interest to be monitored over time.

Aerial Survey Area
The survey for annual kelp bed mapping extends south from Starfish Island in Choked Pass to 7th Beach - NW Calvert Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Survey timing protocols are framed by the goal of obtaining imagery that best represents the maximum extent of the canopy-forming kelps. Based on optimizing the timing of maximum canopy development, tide level, and light conditions, we select acceptable “survey windows” at the beginning of each season. Firstly, survey windows occur during the period of maximum canopy extent, generally considered to be between August and October in British Columbia. Secondly, survey windows are determined by the timing of low tide cycles, such that all imagery is captured at tide heights lower than +1.0 m MLW.

Imagery Capture: Surveys are conducted using DJI Phantom 3 professional Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs or drones) equipped with a commercial grade 4k RGB camera to capture imagery. The UAV and camera are operated by using the DJI Capture software application connected to a tablet or smartphone.

Kelp extent layer is represented by polygons which were digitized manually in ARC GIS.

Attributes: Density, Area, Confidence, and Species.
