Overview of the State of the St. Lawrence, 2019 edition
The Overview of the State of the St. Lawrence, 2019 edition, takes stock of the freshwater and seawater ecosystem of the St. Lawrence River using indicators focusing on water, sediments, biological resources, banks, and uses. It also examines three key challenges that the St. Lawrence River is facing: nutrient overload from Lac Saint-Pierre, the acidification of water in the Gulf, and the impacts of climate change on the river’s tributaries. The overview is meant to be an information tool for the benefit of decision-makers and interveners with respect to the St. Lawrence River.
