Portrait of recreational boating in the summer habitat of the St. Lawrence beluga and the blue whale, and estimation of these species' exposure to underwater noise produced by recreational boating activities

Tender details

Fisheries and Oceans Canada seeks to assess recreational boating activities in the beluga and blue whale habitat within the St. Lawrence and Saguenay rivers. The project aims to create a quantitative, spatial, and temporal analysis using satellite imagery to evaluate the exposure of these marine species to underwater noise and its potential impacts, supporting the sustainable management and protection of marine resources.
