Baie-des-Loups Migratory Bird Sanctuary

The Baie-des-Loups Migratory Bird Sanctuary is a federally protected area on the Quebec coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, established in 1925 as part of Canada's national network of Migratory Bird Sanctuaries. It safeguards islands and surrounding waters that serve as critical breeding and staging habitat for seabirds in the boreal and subarctic transition zone of eastern Canada. The sanctuary is overwhelmingly marine in character, with most of its roughly 38 square kilometers consisting of ocean rather than land. This marine dominance reflects the park's primary purpose: protecting offshore foraging areas, nesting islands, and sheltered coastal bays used by colonial seabirds during the breeding season. Its protected species include common eider, Atlantic puffin, and razorbill, three seabird species characteristic of the North Atlantic that depend on predator-free islands and productive nearshore waters for successful reproduction. Because the refuge lies within the larger archipelago system of the Gulf of St. Lawrence's islands, it contributes to a wider regional network of avian habitat conservation along Quebec's lower North Shore.

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.
