The project is the result of funding from Réseau Québec Maritime and MEOPAR (https://meopar.ca/meopar-and-rqms-first-joint-projects-explore-risk-assessment-and-response-in-the-st-lawrence-system/) and focuses on the natural risks associated with the remobilization of sediments on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence. The main objective of the project is to assess the distribution of underwater natural hazards on the marine deltas of the North Shore. It is a collaboration between the Université du Québec à Rimouski, the University of New Brunswick, the Geological Survey of Canada, Laval University and Dalhousie University.

Bathymetric images for the year 2020 are available via this dataset. These geotiffs can be used with a geographic information system (GIS). Multibeam bathymetry was performed in 5 sectors with deltaic slopes in the lower St. Lawrence Estuary (Betsiamites, Manicouagan, Pointe-aux-Outardes, Godbout and Franquelin). A mosaic of the Pointe-des-Monts area is also available. The data was collected with an EM-240 (Multibeam Echosounder) installed on the Research Vessel (R/V) Coriolis II.

The Comité ZIP Sud-de-l'Estuaire obtained funding from the Community Interactions Program (PIC) to promote good development and restoration practices on the coast and to conduct restoration work on two beaches in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region that were damaged during the storm of December 6, 2010. The objective is to produce a practical guide for coastal residents so that they can develop the coastline while preserving its high ecological and aesthetic value. Last December's storm showed that the Bas-Saint-Laurent's coasts are very sensitive to erosion and coastal submersion. Against all odds, the lands that had preserved their beach in their natural state suffered very little damage. Despite this observation, several coastal residents have opted for rigid protection techniques (rockfill, protection wall, etc.), which cause the lowering and even the disappearance of beaches. While erosion is a short-term threat to human construction, installing large-scale rigid protection represents a long-term deterioration of the coastline, especially for beaches that are fertile ground for diverse flora and attract a host of waterfowl. 

The guide to good planning and restoration practices will give coastal residents a toolbox of alternatives to rigid techniques. Soft coastal development techniques such as revegetation and sand recharge will be presented, as well as a list of native plants best suited to the coastal environment.

Temporal coverage: 2010-05-01/2014-09-18

A vast environmental planning and consultation process on the territory of the Magdalen Islands was carried out between 2010 and 2012 by Attention FragÎles in collaboration with members of the 'Groupe de référence en environnement' (GRE). Thirty-five economic, social, cultural, and environmental organizations participated. Out of this work came the Strategic environmental intervention plan for the Magdalen Islands territory (PSIE in French), which aim to allow local and regional stakeholders to base their policies and actions on a coherent and shared strategic vision for the Magdalen Islands, as well as to provide a guideline for action on the territory. 

The plan includes a detailed environmental profile of the territory, an overview of environmental actions that have been carried out, an assessment that prioritizes the most critical territorial risks and challenges, ten general directions, and a series of options and strategic interventions to address the identified challenges. The final version of the PSIE was completed in 2012, and an online platform was created. A summary was produced in 2014 to help local collaborators take ownership of the plan. The PSIE was also used as grounds for tabling an environmental policy by the Communauté Maritime des Îles-de-la-Madeleine in 2016.

This Directory, produced thanks to the participation of thirty partners, contains information about public access from 46 sources previously published between 1989 and 2009. It covers the entire St. Lawrence River, from Cornwall to Blanc-Sablon, including the Magdalen Islands, Anticosti Island, and 11 priority tributaries of the 2005-2010 St. Lawrence Plan. These official data were produced as part of the St. Lawrence Action Plan 2011-2026.

Access sites are located on or near the shore. The Comités ZIP and Stratégies Saint-Laurent have partly verified data in 2010 and 2011. To make more data available, a second validation process using satellite images was made under the leadership of Public Works and Government Services Canada in three areas: the Richelieu River, the lake St. Louis and the metropolitan area of Quebec (from Cap-Rouge to Sainte-Pétronille and from Saint-Nicolas to Beaumont). SLGO then continued the validation process using Google map and Street View for all the access points on the south shore of the St. Lawrence from Île d'Orléans to Gaspé and on the north shore from Baie-Sainte-Catherine to Mingan. These last two validations result in the integration of 401 new access points throughout the territory of St. Lawrence and Richelieu Rivers.

Over the past 15 years, Memorial University has been involved in various ocean glider activities, with deployments focused primarily on the Newfoundland Shelf and the Labrador Sea. For example, four deployments with glider data are in the Labrador Sea. Partnerships with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Ocean Gliders Canada have also resulted in deployments of Memorial's gliders in the Pacific. The data contain 14,663 mission km, 620 deployment days and 25,108 individual glider profiles.

L1 NetCDF files for every deployment archived on Memorial University's Glider Data server are publicly available for scientific research. Deployments vary in duration and region. All files were processed with the SOCIB glider toolbox (Troupin et al., 2015), modified by Nicolai von Oppeln-Bronikowski, 2019 for MUN glider deployments.

This glider deployment occurred between 05 Sep 2018 and 11 Sep 2018 over the Trinity bay area, Canada.

This dataset accompanies a manuscript entitled “A synthesis of blue carbon stocks, sources and accumulation rates in eelgrass (Zostera marina) meadows in the Northeast Pacific”, in Global Biogeochemical Cycles. See the article at https://doi.org/10.1029/2019GB006345 These data provide estimates of sediment carbon stocks, organic carbon accumulation rates and sources of carbon in sixteen intertidal and subtidal Zostera marina meadows, spanning from Southeast Alaska to Southern Oregon. Data were compiled from seven independent studies conducted between 2013 and 2017, including published manuscripts, graduate/academic theses, and unpublished values. While the studies varied slightly in their objectives and scope, all studies had a common goal of quantifying carbon stocks, sequestration rates, and sources of stored carbon in Z. marina meadows to fill regional data gaps for this species in the Pacific Northwest.

At all sites, cores were collected by manually inserting PVC tubes into the sediment. Cores were either taken at a predetermined depth (e.g., 30cm) or inserted to the point of refusal. Intertidal cores were collected during low tides, while subtidal cores were collected by SCUBA divers. The number of cores from vegetated and unvegetated sediments, tidal height average core depth, and the sampling period varied among sites and regions. Lab analyses were conducted to quantify sediment characteristics such as % organic carbon (OC), % organic matter, % inorganic carbon, OC stocks, OC accumulation rates, and carbon (δ13) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values. Details of field and laboratory methods are included in the manuscript.

The dataset includes six csv files which contain: (1) eelgrass sediment carbon values, (2) organic carbon accumulation rates and accretion rates, (3) sediment δ13C and δ15N isotope values, (4) quantitative sediment grain size data, (5) qualitative sediment grain size data, (6) data used to create the % organic matter vs. % organic carbon regression equation used in the manuscript.

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.
