The *Whale Alert* app allows users to report observations of the presence of whales, whether alive, dead, or in a vulnerable state, which provides crucial information for researchers and decision-makers. *Whale Alert* incorporates a long list of threatened and endangered species, such as the blue whale and the North Atlantic right whale, and covers Canadian and US waters. Users can play a direct role in the conservation of these species by reporting sightings of live, dead, and distressed animals. For more information, please see the [**data context**](https://ogsl.ca/en/biodiversity/mammals/whalealert/about).

This dataset presents a portrait of the current status of the anadromous rainbow smelt (*Osmerus mordax*) in the Saguenay. Several reports produced since the early 2000s are available, they allow us to see the evolution of the rainbow smelt situation in the Saguenay River sector (identification of spawning sites, concentration areas and threats to the Saguenay River population). There are also shapefiles (vector data) that can be visualized in a Geographic Information System (GIS). This is the distribution area of smelt and also its spawning grounds in various sectors of the Saguenay River.

Glider deployment #77 - bond 2017-09-11 (delayed). 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. The Slocum glider was designed and built by Teledyne Webb Research Corporation, Falmouth, MA, USA.

The Barrow Strait flow observational program started in 1998 and continued for 13 years to 2012. Barrow Strait is the widest of the 4 passages through the Canadian Archipelago making it an important monitoring location.  The program explores the magnitude and variability of freshwater, heat and volume transports through the eastern Northwest Passage. The data measured included: profile CTD and time series temperature, salinity, density, currents, ice draft and ice drift velocity. The time series data collected was used to quantify the freshwater discharge from the Arctic Ocean through Barrow Strait into the northwest Atlantic, and link variability in this freshwater outflow to large scale weather patterns. Annual analysis performed on the collected data include: low-pass filtering, power spectra, progressive vector diagram, tidal analyses, seasonal and monthly averaged stats, mean flow, and ice velocities.  Data from the program, along with a description of the methods used, have been published annually in the Canadian Data Report of Hydrography and Ocean Sciences report number 190 to 195, 173, 167, 166, 165, 161, and 157.

This dataset consists of a spatial dataset of digitized surface canopy extent for bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) for the North Salish Sea on the Coast of British Columbia, Canada. This data was collected in partnership with Brian Timmer, a PhD student at the University of Victoria (Victoria, BC) as part of his doctoral research project examining historical changes in algal communities in the northern Strait of Georgia and as part of the Hakai Institute Habitat Mapping Program which includes long-term observations in canopy kelp extent.
Spatial datasets of kelp canopy were derived from high resolution aerial imagery (10 cm) collected from fixed-wing aerial surveys flown 2023. Imagery was collected July 3rd, 2023 at a tide height between 0.6 and 2.4 m with flight paths conducted from north to south in the area of interest. The survey window was based on obtaining imagery during maximum kelp extent and during a low tide cycle.
Imagery Capture: Four-band imagery (RGB-NIR) was collected using two high resolution cameras aboard the Aerial Coastal Observatory (a fixed-wing aircraft). Imagery collection and orthomosaic processing is described in associated reports linked in this record.
Kelp delineation: Surface kelp canopy is represented by polygons which were digitized using the Kelp-O-Matic machine learning tool. This tool automates the detection of surface canopy kelp from 4 band imagery and was developed by Hakai to segment remotely sensed imagery specifically for kelp presence. Spatial outputs from the Kelp-O-Matic were reviewed and manually edited by a trained analyst where necessary.

The results are obtained during the deployment of a mooring equipped with two sediment traps near the Old Harry site as part of the project Notre Golfe. Sinking particles were collected at depths of 34 meters and 100 m, from October 2014 to October 2015, to determine seasonal variations in the abundance and composition of the total particulate matter flux in the Cabot Strait region of the deep Laurentian Channel in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Each fall, around the high tides of the equinox, a group of graduating students enrolled in the "Marine Bioecology" course carries out a sampling campaign in the mediolittoral zone around Pointe à John, near Bergeronnes. This course is part of the "*Techniques de bioécologie*" (Environmental and Wildlife management) program at the Cégep de Sherbrooke. The aim of this inventory is to introduce finishing students to work in the coastal marine zone. Sampling also allows them to plan work, prepare field equipment, collect samples, capture organisms, and measure physicochemical parameters. Back in the laboratory, they identify the organisms present in the samples, compile the results, and perform a few simple analyses of the results.

The sampling campaign includes several components: the harvesting of benthic macroinvertebrates sorted from collected sediment samples (endobenthos), the observation of benthic macroinvertebrates attached to the hard substrate (epibenthos), experimental fishing using fyke nets and bait traps, the measurement of salinity and water temperature, and the calculation of the percentage of algae cover.

As this is work carried out by people in training, the level of identification of the sampled organizations cannot be as accurate as the work carried out by professionals in the field. The field work is still supervised by the teacher in charge and by a practical work technician. The results of the laboratory analysis are also validated by the teacher in charge before they are published.

These inventories use a sampling protocol that has changed little since 2012. The results may therefore show some changes over several years in the invertebrate and fish community in the vicinity of Point à John.

COR1502 Expedition took place from June 1st to 7th 2015 on board the research ship (R/V) Coriolis II. The general objective was to perform detailed geophysical surveys and collect different types of sediment samples, in order to assess sediment dynamics and the evolution of the submarine canyon geomorphology at Pointe-des-Monts.

This dataset includes sample locations and high-resolution images of the cores (CT-scan and photo). Different sediment properties were analyzed:

**Physical properties**: spectrophotometry (L a b, RGB, XYZ, Munsell color), gamma density, P-wave velocity and amplitude, fractional porosity, resistivity and impedance.

**Magnetic properties**: magnetic susceptibility.

**Chemical properties**: X-ray fluorescence.
