Linear data representing the interpretation of accessible shores of public ownership (municipal or government) of the Greater Montreal area using the land role. This data is approximate and does not determine the actual shore as defined in the [Policy for the Protection of Shorelines, Coastal and Flood Plains] (http://www.mddelcc.gouv.qc.ca/eau/rives/). Accessibility may be by land and/or water and there may be or may not be developed. The shores of inland rivers are not included, with the exception of the Lachine Canals and the Aqueduct. Although this has evolved, thanks to the expansion of the banks, among other things, this data was originally produced for the calculation of a state of the environment indicator in the Montreal community's first strategic sustainable development plan. For more details on its interpretation, please refer to page 68 and 69 of the [2007-2009 balance sheet] (http://ville.montreal.qc.ca/pls/portal/docs/PAGE/D_DURABLE_FR/MEDIA/DOCUMENTS/INDICATEURS_ETAT_ENV_2007-09_SEPT7_FINAL_96P.PDF).
