The Comité ZIP Sud-de-l'Estuaire has completed a biophysical characterization and completed the first phase of restoration of part of the Montmagny High Marsh thanks to a funding of  257,735$ which includes $ 175,110 from the Community Interactions Program (PIC) and $ 20,000 from the Town of Montmagny. The three-year financial package also includes the contribution of the MRC de Montmagny, the Biopterre development center, and the collaboration of Nature Québec, the UQAR geoscience research chair, and the UQAR geography department. 

The portrait of the state of the coastal high marsh located west of the Rivière-du-Sud was carried out in the summer of 2016. The erosion by the St. Lawrence causes the decline and the disappearance of large areas of meadows wetlands of great ecological value at this location. There is also a strong presence of invasive species accidentally introduced, such as Phragmites australis, and some anthropogenic developments that amplify the phenomenon. These marshes are unique since they are composed of plants adapted to fresh to brackish waters and the action of winter ice. Some of these plants are found exclusively in the St. Lawrence Estuary region. This is the case of a threatened species, Gentiane de victorin. A plantation of 1,500 square meters was carried out using native species (carex, Spartina anglica, etc.) and plant engineering (cuttings of willow shrubs). Nearly 20,000 plants were planted in the summer of 2017. Awareness-raising activities focused on enhancing the richness of coastal flora and fauna will also be offered to residents.

North Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) were caught by deploying trawl nets in April (4-18) 2022 during the winter expeditions of the International Year of the Salmon to the North Pacific high seas onboard the F/V Northwest Explorer. Trawl nets were deployed at each station in the top 50 meters of the water column and towed for 60 minutes (night) or 90 minutes (day) at 4 to 5 knots. A 2x2 cm sample of salmon muscle tissue was collected from above the lateral line and in front of the dorsal fin and stored at -80°C. Muscle samples were then processed in the laboratory at the University of British Columbia. Tissue was lyophilized in freeze drier for 48 hours, homogenized using mortar and pestle, encapsulated in tin (Sn) capsules, and sent for measurements of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios and elemental contents at an external lab. Samples were analysed on an Elemental Analyser coupled to an Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer. Details on analytical procedure are provided in the supplementary materials 1 and 2. The data reported includes each sample ẟ13C, %C, ẟ15N, % N, and CN ratios, in addition to the metadata associated with each sample (e.g., coordinates of oceanographic station and bottom depth where salmon specimen was collected, etc.).

Temporal coverage: 2010-11-01/2011-02-28

Six information and knowledge-sharing workshops on coastal risks took place in January and February 2010 in the Mitis and Matane RCM. From November 2010 to February 2011, the team from Comité ZIP visited the RCM of Montmagny, l'Islet, Kamouraska, Rivière-du-Loup, Les Basques, and Rimouski-Neigette. The population was made aware of coastal risks and the shoreline's movement through time to prevent or mitigate risks related to erosion, coastal submersion, and landslides. 

Since April 2010, the internet site "cotesacotes.org" has been an excellent information exchange tool. It contains sections about the factors responsible for coastline evolution, intervention resources, legislative framework, possible solutions to mitigate risks, and an interactive section for citizens. Furthermore, it includes a large quantity of information on coastal risks and gives access to the contact information of many resource persons. Updates will be done regularly to keep the population up to date on coastal submersion and erosion. 

The workshops were done in collaboration with the "laboratoire de dynamique et de gestion intégrée des zones côtières" from UQAR, the Mitis and Matane RCM, the centre de recherche sur le développement territorial de l'UQAR, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Comité régional de prévention Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie, Iles-de-la-Madeleine, under the coordination of Sécurité civile and the participating municipalities.

The Seagrass Site-Level Production dataset is a component of Hakai Institute’s Nearshore research and monitoring program, designed to determine the drivers of change in seagrass ecosystems. 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.

This data package contains seagrass (Zostera marina) primary production observations collected from May 2015 to Feb 2019, at long-term seagrass meadow monitoring sites on British Columbia’s Central Coast. SCUBA divers collected data from 9 sites annually and 1-3 sites seasonally along permanent 30m transects. Primary productivity data was collected during two concurrent, but separate surveys (i.e., different parameters, methodologies, and sample designs). The data files included in this data package are: 1) ‘Habitat’ surveys, focused on landscape-level habitat variables (e.g., substrate type, subdominant vegetation, adjacent habitat types, seagrass patchiness), and 2) ‘Density’ surveys measuring seagrass specific variables at a finer scale (e.g., seagrass shoot density, and canopy height). Data included here are a subset of the Hakai Institute’s seagrass monitoring dataset.

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.

Data were collected to test the theory that marine-derived nutrients can affect insular species richness, population density, and community composition of terrestrial breeding birds.

This dataset contains spreadsheets of (1) avian point count surveys, (2) vegetation surveys, (3) cleaned data used in Obrist et al. (2020), and (4) a sub-folder of data used in a community-level analysis by Obrist et al. (2022). This sub-folder contains data required to run a Hierarchical Modelling of Species Communities (HMSC)  joint species distribution model. Each datafile has an associated metadata file.

Bird point count survey data include: - 10 minute point count surveys from 99 islands from 2015, 2016 and 2017 survey periods - During each point count survey detections of individual birds were identified to species with distance to observer. Date, UTM coordinates, weather conditions, and detection type (e.g. visual, song, call, etc) information were recorded.

Vegetation data include: - 1x1 m vegetation plots in the immediate vicinity of each point count location and - 5x5 m vegetation plots (3 per point count – 1 at the survey location, and 1 in either direction along the most obvious vegetation gradient around the point count.)
1x1 m vegetation surveys include: - Herbaceous plant percent cover by species in 3 layers: Ground (50 cm)

5x5 m vegetation surveys include: - Shrub percent cover by species in 3 layers: 200 cm - Canopy percent cover by species in 3 heights: subcanopy, canopy, and supercanopy. Heights are defined separately for each plot (in general plot description) - A general plot description including % litter, % coarse woody debris, UTM coordinates - Tree circumferences

Cleaned data for Obrist et al. 2020 (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2020.0108) is executable with subsidized-avian-island-biogeography. R script from https://github.com/debobrist/avian-sib.
