The future of our marine environment, collectively in our hands!
|
Through information on the Park’s history, purpose and partnership approach, this columns promote what has become a unique marine conservation area in Quebec. The columns will also describe how the marine park meets its conservation and presentation goals, encouraging public participation in future development initiatives.These articles will be published in local weekly newspapers such as L’Hebdo Charlevoisien, Journal Haute-Côte-Nord, Saint-Laurent Portage, Progrès-Dimanche and Quebec Chronicle Telegraph.
Whether you travel through the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park by kayak, sailboat, ferry or cruise ship, you are among the privileged! Unique in Quebec and one of the first in Canada, this marine conservation area is known for the exceptional beauty and ecological wealth of the Saguenay Fjord and the St.Lawrence Estuary.
Unlike land parks, marine parks are open spaces where marine species and humans alike can circulate freely. Allowing freedom of movement inside a protected territory entails a strong commitment to wildlife and marine flora preservation. It is everyone’s responsibility to know, love and protect the marine park’s natural riches in order to preserve them for future generations.

Doing my part!
Cleaning products and the environment don’t always make a good mix. Did you know that old paint and containers can now be disposed of without harming the environment? Most municipal garages have recuperation containers available to collect your old paint and paint cans.
Be sure to dispose of your waste wisely! Our environment depends on it. |
