Refuge d'oiseaux migrateurs de la Baie-Boatswain: Coastal Wildlife Reserve and Habitat
Geographic overview of subarctic estuarine protected landscapes
Situated along the remote James Bay coast in Quebec, this sanctuary protects expansive tidal flats and shallow coastal waters. The reserve functions as an integral stopover for migratory geese moving between southern wintering areas and the Arctic. Its unique landscape of rocky reefs, sheltered embayments, and subarctic transition terrain makes it a vital node for regional conservation and waterfowl study.
