Fossil Fuel Exploration in the St.Lawrence
Waterways (River, Estuary and Gulf)
Currently, local watershed and coastal groups in Québec have
petitioned the government for a moratorium on fossil fuel
explotation in all of the St. Lawrence’s waters. This
includes the River, Estuary, Northern and Southern Gulf. The
moratorium is considered a preventative measure that should be in
place until full assurances can be given that these activities will
not be detrimental to, or lead to the degradation of, the integrity
of the St.Lawrence’s ecosystems or the human communities and
economies that depend on the St.Lawrence’s ecological
resources.
