Potential effects of the construction of marine terminals in the Saguenay Fjord on the St. Lawrence beluga whale and its habitat .: Fs70-7/2018-025E-PDF

"The construction of two new marine terminals is planned in the upstream section of the Saguenay Fjord. The two new terminals are to be constructed at the northern edge of the St. Lawrence Estuary beluga’s range in the Saguenay. To reach the new terminals, vessels will have to cross very important beluga habitat, including critical habitat as defined in the recovery strategy. This Science Response Report results from the Science Response Process from the Regional Ecosystems Management Branch (REMB) to the Regional Science Branch (RSB) to assess the potential effects of marine terminal construction projects in the Saguenay Fjord on the St. Lawrence Estuary beluga and its habitat"--Context, P. [1].
