The Pointe-aux-Outardes Marsh - Characterization of Important Coastal Habitats on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary

A project to characterize important coastal habitats on the north shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary was funded for a period of 4 years (2018-2022). The purpose of this project is to generate reference ecological data to draw a global portrait of the state of coastal marshes in the upper north shore sector of Quebec.
This dataset covers the Pointe-aux-Outardes marsh area and related wetlands. In order to improve knowledge of these ecosystems, flora and fauna (ichthyological and benthic) inventories have been carried out and the various abiotic factors characterized. Geomorphological data was also collected, but is not included in this dataset. However, they remain available, contact the ZIP Committee of the North Shore of the Estuary (RNE) directly to access them. The RNE ZIP Committee also holds orthomosaics of the downstream section of the Pointe-aux-Outardes marsh and the littoral spit, transects perpendicular to the coast covering the entire littoral marsh (dGNSS Reach), two ecogeomorphological limits (lower limit of the vegetation of the marsh and the coastline) as well as oblique surveys of the western sector of the Manicouagan Peninsula (sector from Pointe du Bout to the old dock of the municipality of Pointe-aux-Outardes) (MavicMini DJI). This project is part of the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program Initiative under the Oceans Protection Plan of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

圣劳伦斯河口北岸重要滨海生境表征项目获资助，执行周期为4年（2018-2022年）。本项目旨在生成参考性生态数据，以全面勾勒魁北克北岸上游区域滨海沼泽的现状图景。

本数据集涵盖奥特德斯角（Pointe-aux-Outardes）沼泽区域及相关湿地。为深化对该类生态系统的认知，项目组开展了动植物（鱼类与底栖生物）调查，并对各类非生物因子进行了表征分析。项目同时采集了地貌数据，但未纳入本数据集。不过此类数据仍可获取，您可直接联系河口北岸ZIP委员会（RNE）申请获取。

河口北岸ZIP委员会（RNE）还留存有奥特德斯角沼泽下游区段与沿岸沙嘴的正射影像镶嵌图、覆盖全滨海沼泽的海岸垂直样带（dGNSS Reach）、两处生态地貌界限（沼泽植被下界与海岸线），以及马尼夸根半岛西部区段（从布特角至奥特德斯角市政旧码头区域）的斜向航拍数据（DJI MavicMini）。本项目隶属于加拿大渔业与海洋部海洋保护计划下的《滨海环境基线项目倡议》（Coastal Environmental Baseline Program Initiative）。
