Time series of dissolved inorganic nutrients (nitrate, silicate, phosphate) (mmol/m2) at the 3 fixed stations and 46 stations, grouped into transects, of the Atlantic Zonal Monitoring Program (AZMP) under the Quebec region responsibility.The mean integrated nutrient data of 2 strata (0-50 m) et (50-150 m) from the last ten years are displayed as 12 layers, 6 for the June survey (2013-2022, 2020 not sampled) and 6 for the autumn survey (2013-2022). Finally, 2 other layers shows the positions of the fixed stations of the program (Anticosti Gyre, Gaspé Current and Rimouski).Each station is linked with a .png file showing the time series of nutrients and with a .csv file containing all the integrated nutrient data acquired at those stations since the beginning of the program sampling (columns : Station, Latitude, Longitude, Date(UTC), Sounding(m), Depth_min/Profondeur_min(m), Depth_max/Profondeur_max(m), Integrated_Nitrate/Nitrate_intégré(mmol/m²), Integrated_Phosphate/Phosphate_intégré(mmol/m²), Integrated_Silicate/Silice_intégrée(mmol/m²)).PurposeThe Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) was implemented in 1998 with the aim of increasing the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s (DFO) capacity to detect, track and predict changes in the state and productivity of the marine environment.The AZMP collects data from a network of stations composed of high-frequency monitoring sites and cross-shelf sections in each following DFO region: Québec, Gulf, Maritimes and Newfoundland. The sampling design provides basic information on the natural variability in physical, chemical, and biological properties of the Northwest Atlantic continental shelf. Cross-shelf sections sampling provides detailed geographic information but is limited in a seasonal coverage while critically placed high-frequency monitoring sites complement the geography-based sampling by providing more detailed information on temporal changes in ecosystem properties.In Quebec region, two surveys (46 stations grouped into transects) are conducted every year, one in June and the other in autumn in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence. Historically, 3 fixed stations were sampled more frequently. One of these is the Rimouski station that still takes part of the program and is sampled about weekly throughout the summer and occasionally in the winter period.Annual reports (physical, biological and a Zonal Scientific Advice) are available from the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS), (http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/csas-sccs/index-eng.htm).Devine, L., Scarratt, M., Plourde, S., Galbraith, P.S., Michaud, S., and Lehoux, C. 2017.

PURPOSE:To quantify impacts of nutrient and sediment loading to plant and animal communities and the environmental conditions that support them in estuaries of the Southern Gulf of St. LawrenceDESCRIPTION:The MEQ monitoring program is being implemented in 35-40 estuaries in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence (sGSL) to support the development of a MEQ measure (threshold) to promote efforts to address nutrient enrichment in estuaries. The two main indicators included in the monitoring program are dissolved oxygen and eelgrass coverage which are used to assess the trophic status of estuaries within the region. The two factors most important for impacting the trophic status of estuaries are nitrogen loading and water residence time, i.e., water circulation. If water residence time is long and/or nitrogen loading is high, nutrient impacts are likely. A peer-reviewed manuscript has demonstrated that these two factors are predictive of the dissolved oxygen regime in the upper estuary and that publication successfully used dissolved oxygen to ascribe trophic status to estuaries. In a companion paper it was also determined that nitrogen loading was negatively correlated with eelgrass coverage. These two papers form the basis of the MEQ monitoring program (see attached). NOTES ON QUALITY CONTROL:Dissolved oxygen loggers require calibration prior to deployment and are checked for drift after retrieval (though drift isn't anticipated given optical sensor technology). In the event that dissolved oxygen loggers weren't cleared at a frequency sufficient to prevent data errors from occurring these data are removed prior to analysis. Additionally, data must be scrubbed of erroneous measurements which are relatively rare and very apparent. An error code of -888.88 is the primary error for dissolved oxygen loggers. Salinity probes rarely provide erroneous data and when they do it is typically the result of fouling.PHYSICAL SAMPLE DETAILS:Water is sampled bi-weekly to monthly using a Niskin water sampler at a depth of 0.5 m from the water surface, from May-November. Samples are processed in the laboratory in duplicate for chlorophyll a and seston within ~8 hours of being collected.SAMPLING METHODS:For each study estuary, dissolved oxygen is monitored continuously with optical dissolved oxygen loggers in the upper and mid-estuary. Tidal amplitude and salinity (NB and NS only) were also monitored at the upper estuary location only. Depth profiles for other water quality variables are taken at the bi-weekly or monthly scale as well as samples for seston (NB and NS only) and chlorophyll a (a proxy for phytoplankton). These parameters are monitored on a 3-year cycle except for two sites in PE and one site in NB and NS which are monitored annually: West and Wheatley, PE, Cocagne, NB and Pugwash, NS, respectively.Data is collected for eelgrass coverage by a collaborator between June-September, ideally during the same year we collect water quality data.Collaborators include the province of PEI’s Department of Environment, Water and Climate Change and the Southern Gulf of St. Lawrence Coalition on Sustainability.USE LIMITATION:To ensure scientific integrity and appropriate use of the data, we would encourage you to contact the data custodian.

The Multi-Watershed Nutrient Study collected stream water samples from 11 small agricultural watersheds between 2014 and 2020. Samples were collected during flow events like rainfall and snow melt, as well as during baseflow conditions across all four seasons. Samples were collected over the rise, peak, and fall of water during these events in the streams, to collect water chemistry information at a higher frequency than typical for stream water sampling. The dataset includes stream sensor data and flow data from stream monitoring stations, meteorological data from nearby weather stations, and water quality data collected through sampling. See Supplemental Information for station numbers and relevant information. Sample water quality parameters included total phosphorus, total filtered phosphorus, metals, total nitrogen, phosphate, dissolved nitrogen, turbidity, suspended solids, dissolved carbons, and sulphate. Data users are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to review the associated Summary document prior to using this dataset. Six of the watersheds in the Multi-Watershed Nutrient Study were also sampled during the Pollution from Land Use Activities Reference Group (PLUARG) study conducted in the 1970s.
