Identify and promote public access points
Urban development, artificial shoreline development, and the degradation of aquatic and river habitats have resulted in the loss of several uses of the St. Lawrence River. Some recreational and public uses, as well as the quality of life for shoreline residents, are especially jeopardized by the degradation of the water and natural environments, by conflicts between users and by riverbank erosion. Sustainable use depends in part on the maintenance and development of environment- and ecosystem-friendly ways for the public to access to the St. Lawrence.
Apply Earth observation technologies (EOTs) to validate site inventories and data on uses of and numbers of visits to sites with public access
