The Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park is a
vibrant research site.
This is not surprising, since the park has so many special features. It is truly a laboratory for scientists of many disciplines.
The future of the marine park is closely tied to these research activities. The better we understand the park’s ecosystems, the better we can protect them. The information generated by this research enables the park’s managers to make sound decisions regarding conservation and the management of human activity.
This information also provides input for park interpretation and education programs. To cherish something, you first have to understand it. Once you cherish it, you feel encouraged to protect it.
