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!
