In 2009, DFO defined twelve spatial units in three of Canada's oceans to inform marine planning exercises such as the establishment of marine protected area networks. However, these bioregions cover large territories and are ecologically heterogeneous, especially along the coasts. The ecological regionalization presented in this report is based on existing classification systems, in particular those of Parks Canada, Environment Canada, DFO and MELCC, in addition to the unique ecological characteristics of each sub-region in terms of habitats, breeding grounds, feeding grounds, migratory routes, surface deposits, geomorphology, etc. For the Quebec region, a total of 12 sub-ecoregions have been identified. The analyzes leading to these sub-ecoregions are both based on a description of terrestrial ecosystems adjacent to the coast and on a marine description. Consultation with experts in marine biology and conservation helped refine our analyses and conclusions.
Data presented here are the limit of the 12 ecoregions made from this work. A technical report is available for more details : Narancic, B. et Gendreau, Y. 2022. Écorégionalisation du territoire côtier de l’estuaire et du golfe Saint-Laurent. Rapp. tech. can. sci. halieut. aquat. 0000 :vii + 27p.
