This map is a section of a larger one of the Wetlands of the Laurentians produced by Ducks Unlimited<\/a>,\u00a0the world’s largest private, non-profit, waterfowl and wetland conservation organization,\u00a0 and Abrinord, the organization responsible for the management of the North River Watershed.<\/p>\n

Wikipedia defines a wetland as a land area that is saturated<\/a> with water<\/a>, either permanently or seasonally, such that it takes on the characteristics of a distinct ecosystem<\/a>.\u00a0Wetlands play a number of roles in the environment, principally water purification, flood control, carbon sink and shoreline stability.<\/p>\n

Wetlands are also considered the most biologically diverse<\/a> of all ecosystems, serving as home to a wide range of plant and animal life.<\/p>\n

\"Bassin<\/a>The map is only available in French. Key words in the legend are mar\u00e9cage, marais (Swamp), Tourbi\u00e8re<\/a> (Bog), eau peu profonde (shallow water) .<\/p>\n

It was produced though 3-D imagery. It is quite precise. For example, there are small bogs with trees (tourbi\u00e8re bois\u00e9e) on and close to\u00a0 my property and they are clearly shown.<\/p>\n

I am sharing this information with you as the health of our lakes is inseparable from the preservation of our wetlands as they play vital functions such as water filtration, water storage, biological productivity, and provide habitat for wildlife.<\/p>\n
