FRR - Characterization of agricultural shoreline strips — Aggregate results - GéoMONT 2020

The characterization of shoreline strips was carried out on 400 km of agricultural watercourses for the territory of 5 MRCs in Montérégie (Beauharnois-Salaberry, Haut-Richelieu, Jardins-de-Napierville, Jardins-de-Napierville, Marguerite-d'Youville, Vallée-du-Richelieu). The results obtained by photo-interpretation, based on the width of the sections of shoreline strips calculated from the high-water line and the embankment, were aggregated to produce global results by municipality. The project was carried out as part of the Regional Program for the Acquisition of Data on Wetlands and Water Environments (PRADMHH) and was funded by the Regions and Rurality Fund (FRR) of the Montérégie regional department of the MAMH. Criteria used to characterize the conformity of shoreline strips. Shoreline compliance (Criteria used according to the width of the shoreline) Non-compliant (The non-compliant shoreline has a total width of less than 3 meters) Nearly compliant (The nearly-compliant shoreline has a total width of 3 meters or more, but less than 1 meter wide on the embankment) Compliant (The compliant shoreline has a total width of three meters or more and a width of a minimum of one…
