Évaluer l’abondance des anguilles d’Amérique (Anguilla rostrata) et agir sur la connectivité de leurs habitats, sur la Côte-Nord du Golfe

The *Comité Zone d’Intervention Prioritaire Côte-Nord du Golfe* (ZIP CNG) decided to intervene in order to participate in the restoration of eels habitat connectivity on the North Shore. To do this, a project with two objectives was set up for the years 2024-2025 in order to begin the process, namely: (1) validate the presence of eels in rivers with impassable obstacles and characterize these obstacles and the habitat upstream; (2) design migration passes adapted to eels at selected dams. An inventory and characterization of obstacles to migration were thus made at the Riverin River (*MRC de Sept-Rivières*) and at the Sheldrake River (*MRC de Minganie*) in July and August 2024. Following the inventories, an external firm was commissioned to propose potential migration passes adapted to eel on the Riverin River.
