Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park
Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park, National marine conservation area at St. Lawrence River and Saguenay River confluence, Canada
The park encompasses 1,245 square kilometers of marine environment where freshwater from the Saguenay River meets the saltwater of the St. Lawrence Estuary.
Indigenous peoples inhabited the region for over 8,000 years before European arrival, establishing seal hunting practices and trade networks along the waterways.
The marine park stands as a meeting point between First Nations traditions and European maritime heritage, influencing regional fishing and navigation methods.
Visitors can observe whales through three interpretation centers with naturalist guides, offering both land-based viewing and boat excursions from May to October.
The park features three distinct marine ecosystems: upper estuary, lower estuary, and Saguenay Fjord, each supporting different species and underwater landscapes.
