The Tadoussac Dunes site is recognized for its biodiversity, but also for its strong archaeological and recreational tourism potential which could be highlighted in the future national park, adds the Ministry of the Environment. This asset should contribute to the socio-economic vitality of the North Shore.
The marine park of Saguenay-Saint-Laurent is an important summer habitat for several species of marine mammals, including the humpback whale.
The future Dunes-de-Tadoussac national park will also provide a window onto the Saguenay-Saint-Laurent marine park.
< p class="StyledBodyHtmlParagraph-sc-48221190-4 hnvfyV">To launch this project, the Ministry of the Environment worked extensively with the Municipality of Tadoussac, its residents and the local Essipit community. It is the result of significant consultation work carried out with the local and regional community over the last three years, explains Minister Benoit Charette.
To come to fruition, the project must be the subject of public consultations by the Office of Public Audiences on the Environment (BAPE). The warrant for hearing must be filed no later than August 16.
