Plan of Concerted Intervention for the Development and Protection of Peatlands on the Manicouagan Peninsula (2007), Plan d'intervention concerté pour la mise en valeur et la protection des tourbières de la péninsule de Manicouagan (2007)

Keywords: Autre, Oceans, sustainable development, other, mise en valeur, habitat enhancement, protection des habitats, développement durable, habitat protection
Temporal coverage: 2005-03-21/2007-06-30

The general objective of the intervention plan is to make recommendations to land managers and users regarding the future development of the Manicouagan Peninsula. These recommendations are based on the results of consultation between the main users of the territory and have the sustainable development of the territory as a guiding principle. 

More specifically, they are reflected in the following two guidelines: 

- Adequately and long-term protect the important biological components of the peninsula while maintaining the exploitation of natural resources, recreational tourism activities and the uses traditionally exercised by the local population. 

- Enhance certain habitats on the peninsula through the development of new recreational tourism activities that will increase local tourism potential and the ethics of users.

Despite the close connection of freshwaters to human health, the occurrence and fate of microplastics in marine estuaries remain poorly documented. To study these particles in the Saint-Lawrence River (Quebec, Canada), surface water samples were collected along a river-to-sea continuum, from Saint-Louis Lake to Cacouna. The microplastics from these water samples were isolated and sorted by size range and by shapes: fibers (1 dimension), films (2 dimensions) or fragments (3 dimensions). Particles were identified by microscopy and infrared spectroscopy techniques. The physico-chemical (temperature, conductivity, pH and dissolved oxygen) gradients along the continuum were monitored at the time of sampling. Sampling of microplastics (0.3 – 3.2 mm) in surface water was carried out using an original pumping system (without plastic), at the rate of 3 replicates of 1,000 L per station.

This work provides the first set of data concerning the microplastic pollution in a major river-to-sea continuum of North America and describes the fate of these microplastics along horizontal physico-chemical gradients.

Temporal coverage: 2019-02-18/..

The barnacle dynamics dataset is a component of the Hakai Institute’s Nearshore research and monitoring program, designed to capture change in rocky intertidal habitats. The overarching objective of Hakai Nearshore research is to investigate the role of habitats and their associated communities, in the face of stress and disturbances from global climate change and local coastal perturbations. 

The barnacle community was assessed starting in 2019 at three coastal sites along the northwest edge of Calvert Island on the Central Coast of British Columbia. All three sites were exposed rocky shorelines with contiguous zones of substrate dominated by species of barnacle. The abundance and diversity of the barnacle species within these zones was surveyed using point-intercepts within permanent plots. The sites were surveyed on an approximately monthly basis from May-September, and two winter surveys in November and February.

This data package is freely available to everyone, following the principles of equitable access and benefit sharing. However, we expect all data users to give attribution to the data providers (read our data license) and the use of these data should happen in the light of fair use, i.e.: 1) respect the data providers, and provide helpful feedback on data quality, and 2) communicate and/or collaborate with the providers if you are considering using this dataset for manuscripts or other forms of reporting.

Scientists from Fisheries and Oceans Canada from the four Atlantic regions, including the Maurice Lamontagne Institute (MLI) for the Quebec Region, have developed the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP). This program is designed to detect, track and predict changes in the state and productivity of the marine environment. This information is essential to tackle major issues such as the impact of climate change. It also supports the ecosystem approach to ensure the sound management of the St. Lawrence ecosystem, conserving resources and protecting the marine environment for future generations. The AZMP builds temporal data sets that will be needed to address future problems.

Temporal coverage: 2013-01-01/2017-12-31

The data used to characterize hypoxia come from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ (DFO) Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program survey in late spring and fall of 2013 to 2017, as well as from DFO’s annual multispecies surveys for the northern Gulf in August and for the Magdalen Shallows in September.

Oxygen concentration were measured at every station using an oxygen probe (Sea-Bird SBE43) mounted on a CTD. The probe is calibrated against seawater samples taken directly from the Niskin bottles at every cast and analyzed by Winkler titration. The data used is the last depth sampled on the CTD profile, which is typically ~10m above the bottom.
