Community-Based Monitoring in Saint John Harbour

Oxygen Sea Surface Salinity Sea Surface Temperature Fish abundance and distribution

These data were generated as part of ACAP Saint John's Harbour Baseline Monitoring Program, collected from Port Saint John, New Brunswick. The dataset includes physico-chemical data, including various water quality and sediment polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs) parameters, collected from 2018 to 2022.

The dataset also includes fish community data produced from seine and fyke net fishing from 2018 to 2022 in Port Saint John. It contains data on the different species caught, abundances, and length measurements.

This project is part of the Coastal Environmental Baseline Program under the Oceans Protection Plan of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
