Sea Level Rise, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St.Lawrence SystemSea Level Rise
St. Lawrence Global ObservatoryThe data used to characterize sea-level rise risk come from the global cumulative impacts assessment on habitats and available on the NCEAS online data repository. For more details, refer to Halpern et al. (2015)( Sea-level rise was characterized by Nicholls…

Hypoxia, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St.Lawrence System
St. Lawrence Global ObservatoryThe data used to characterize hypoxia come from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ (DFO) Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program survey in late spring and fall of 2013 to 2017, as well as from DFO’s annual multispecies surveys for the northern Gulf in August and…

Toxic algae, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St. Lawrence System
St. Lawrence Global ObservatoryThe data we use to describe the risk of toxic algae come from an expert based map delineating the areas where coastal areas are at risk from five different toxins. The map presents coastal areas at risk from: 1) paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins from…

Acidification, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St. Lawrence System
St. Lawrence Global ObservatoryOceans are the largest reservoirs and sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Its uptake increases seawater acidity and lowers the saturation state of waters with respect to calcite (ΩC) and aragonite (ΩA), the two most common CaCO3 polymorphs that…

Aquaculture, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St. Lawrence System
St. Lawrence Global ObservatoryAs aquaculture sites are managed at the provincial level in the St. Lawrence, data on aquaculture sites come from various source. Invertebrates aquaculture is especially important in the southern and western Gulf. Fish and algae aquaculture, on the other hand,…

Direct Human Impact, Driver of Environmental Change: eDrivers Project for the St.Lawrence System
St. Lawrence Global ObservatoryWe used the sum of coastal populations as a proxy of direct human impact. We used Statistics Canada dissemination area population count from the 2016 census to obtain coastal population size around the St. Lawrence. It is possible to access the dataset…
