The purpose of this project is to generate ecological reference data to draw a global portrait of the state of coastal marshes in the *Côte-Nord* sector of Quebec, as part of the Coastal Environmental Reference Data Program, funded by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The program to characterize coastal wetlands in the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence was subsidized for a period of 4 years (2023-2027). This dataset covers the marsh area from *Grande Baie* to Port-Cartier. In order to acquire as much knowledge as possible about the North Shore territory, the *Comité ZIP Côte-Nord du Golfe* (ZIP CNG) carried out ichthyological and floristic inventories, and measured the physicochemical parameters as well as the abiotic factors of the marsh during the summer of 2023. Benthic inventories were also carried out during the summer of 2024.
Ce projet a pour but de générer des données écologiques de référence pour tracer un portrait global de l'état des marais littoraux dans le secteur de la Côte-Nord du Québec, dans le cadre du Programme sur les données environnementales côtières de référence, financé par le ministère Pêches et Océans Canada. Le programme de caractérisation des milieux humides du littoral de la Côte-Nord du golfe du Saint-Laurent a été subventionné pour une période de 4 ans (2023-2027). Ce jeu de données couvre le secteur du marais de la Grande Baie à Port-Cartier. Dans le but d'acquérir le plus de connaissances possible sur le territoire de la Côte-Nord, le Comité ZIP Côte-Nord du Golfe (ZIP CNG) a réalisé des inventaires ichtyologiques ainsi que floristiques, et a mesuré les paramètres physicochimiques ainsi que les facteurs abiotiques du marais durant l'été 2023. Des inventaires benthiques ont également été réalisés durant l'été 2024.
