L'impact humain direct, facteur de changement environnemental : projet eDrivers sur le système du Saint-Laurent, Direct Human Impact, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St.Lawrence System

We used the sum of coastal populations as a proxy of direct human impact. We used Statistics Canada dissemination area population count from the 2016 census to obtain coastal population size around the St. Lawrence. It is possible to access the dataset published on Open Data Canada concerning the [Cartographic boundary for dissemination areas of the 2016 Canadian census](https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/5a6e8f76-cfd2-4a69-acee-9ed205dd9556) and the one on [Population and dwelling counts, dissemination areas, from 2016 Census](https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/3cf36302-1060-444e-988a-d97b6db5ad24).

As the effects of direct human impacts are likely acute mostly in coastal areas we calculated total population in grid cells within 2 km of the coast. Total population was measured in a 10 km buffer around each coastal cell.

Coastal biodiversity of the benthic epifauna of the St. Lawrence Estuary (2018-2019), Biodiversité côtière de l’épifaune benthique de l'estuaire du Saint-Laurent (2018-2019)

Temporal coverage: 2018-08-11/2019-08-05

The North Shore of the Lower Estuary (Upper North Shore, Quebec) is a productive coastal system where many commercial species of benthic invertebrates are fished in the infralittoral (10-20 m) and circalittoral (20-50 m) zone. However, little data exist on the biodiversity of non-commercial species and the environmental characteristics of the benthic habitat in this area. Two scientific surveys were conducted in 2018 and 2019 to address this knowledge gap by developing a framework of biodiversity and environmental (water column and seafloor) data taking that will be used to determine the baseline state of the benthic ecosystem in this region.

Surveys were conducted in 2018 (August 11-14) and 2019 (July 30-August 5) in the Upper North Shore region (between the towns of Forestville and Godbout). Surveys followed a fixed sampling design of eight transects perpendicular to bathymetry with stations at 10 m depth intervals in a bathymetry range of 10-50 m for a total of approximately 40 stations per survey. Specimens were collected with a beam trawl with an opening of 2.8 m. The sets were made at a target speed of 2 knots and a target duration of 7 minutes. The start and end positions were recorded to calculate the distance traveled on each tow using the geosphere library of R. The average tow distance was approximately 425 m. The area covered at each tow was the product of the trawl opening and the distance traveled. 

The files provided (DarwinCore format) are complementary and are linked by the "eventID" key. The "event_information" file includes generic event information, including date and location, sample size, sampling protocol and sampling effort, among others. The "taxon_occurrence" file includes the taxonomy of the species observed, identified to the species or lowest possible taxonomic level. For abundance and biomass estimates, contact Virginie Roy (virginie.roy@dfo-mpo.gc.ca).

For quality controls, all taxonomic names were checked against the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) to match recognized standards. The WoRMS match was placed in the "scientificNameID" field of the occurrence file. Special cases were noted in "identificationRemarks" and selected specimens were confirmed using field photos. Data quality checks were performed using the R obistools and worms libraries. All sampling locations were spatially validated.

This project was funded by DFO Coastal Environmental Baseline Program under Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan. This initiative aims to acquire environmental baseline data contributing to the characterization of important coastal areas and to support evidence-based assessments and management decisions for preserving marine ecosystems.

Butterflies, which are both sensitive and vulnerable to changes in environmental quality, play an important role as a tool for assessing ecosystem health. In Canada, there are only five endemic butterfly species. Among these, the Maritime Ringlet (Coenonympha nipisiquit), recognized as endangered by COSEWIC and threatened under Quebec's Endangered or Vulnerable Species Act, as well as the Maritime copper (Lycaena dospassosi), a species likely to be designated threatened or vulnerable at the provincial level, are among the national heritage with a precarious status.

During the 2010 summer season, inventories were carried out within 16 potential habitat sites for the Maritime Ringlet and the Maritime copper, located in the southern sector of the Gaspesian Peninsula. No new population of Maritime Ringlet was discovered, while the presence of the species was confirmed in the barachois of Saint-Omer and in the barachois of Rivière-Nouvelle. With regard to Maritime copper, eight new populations were discovered. The presence of the species was also confirmed at three sites.

The rocky subtidal fish and invertebrate dataset is a component of Hakai Institute’s Nearshore research and monitoring program. This dataset characterizes spatial and temporal trends in fish and invertebrates communities at 22 rocky bottom subtidal sites near Calvert Island on the Central Coast of British Columbia (2017-2020). Data coverage varies by year and habitat type. Habitats include unvegetated rocky reefs and kelp forests (Macrocystis pyrifera and Nereocystis luetkeana) that were surveyed by SCUBA along 30 m transects. The total length and abundance of all fish and large invertebrates excluding urchins were measured. Seastar wasting disease was also recorded on surveys. This dataset characterizes fish and invertebrate distributions and community-level relationships in rocky subtidal nearshore areas representative of  British Columbia coast.
