The objective of this project is to generate ecological data in order to restore aquatic ecosystems and mitigate human impacts on Canadian coastal and marine environments. The Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Fund (AERF) is part of the renewal of the Oceans Protection Plan. The program provides $75 million over a period of 5 years (2022—2027) to support aquatic restoration that will help address the main causes of coastal and marine degradation. This dataset covers several eelgrass beds on the North Shore, extending from Baie-des-Homards, west of Port-Cartier, to Kegaska. In order to restore aquatic habitats on the North Shore, the Gulf North Shore ZIP Committee carried out ichthyological and floristic inventories, and evaluated physicochemical parameters and abiotic factors, making it possible to characterize eelgrass beds in summer 2023.
Ce projet a comme objectif de générer des données écologiques dans le but de restaurer les écosystèmes aquatiques et d'atténuer les impacts humains sur les milieux côtiers et marins canadiens. Le Fonds de restauration des écosystèmes aquatiques (FREA) s'inscrit dans le renouvellement du Plan de protection des océans. Le programme fournit 75 millions de dollars pour une période de 5 ans (2022-2027) afin d'appuyer la restauration aquatique qui aidera à s'attaquer aux causes principales de la dégradation des milieux côtiers et marins. Ce jeu de données couvre plusieurs herbiers de zostère sur la Côte-Nord, s'étendant de la Baie-des-Homards, à l'ouest de Port-Cartier, jusqu'à Kegaska. Dans le but de restaurer des habitats aquatiques sur la Côte-Nord, le Comité ZIP Côte-Nord du Golfe a réalisé des inventaires ichtyologiques ainsi que floristiques, et a évalué les paramètres physicochimiques et les facteurs abiotiques, permettant de caractériser des herbiers de zostère à l'été 2023.
