Enormous whales, belugas and seals are found in the
St. Lawrence River. These marine mammals are drawn by the abundant food found
in these waters, as are the hundreds of thousands birds
living in the area. Fish and shellfish are caught
as food by humans, though quotas are established to prevent overfishing. Did you
know that laws exist to protect endangered animals, plants
and habitats? And there are many fun facts
to learn about the river!
Do whales come to the St. Lawrence River to pay a social call to their cousins,
the belugas, who live in the seaway year-round? Maybe, but these get-togethers
are generally an excuse to enjoy a feast served on a banquet table stretching
all the way along the North Shore, from Tadoussac to Natashquan. As for the seals,
they prefer to sun themselves on rocks or entertain the public with their antics...
