The Ministry of Public Security (MSP) supports the development of knowledge of flood risks. In collaboration with Laval University and the Reunification of Quebec Basin Organizations, the MSP has developed a methodical and rigorous process for documenting floods that have an impact on the safety of people and essential goods. Thus, since 2017, the Ministry of Public Security (MSP) has been acquiring in certain cases data related to the water level reached when floods with proven consequences occur in southern Quebec. Maximum water levels are indicated by flood overflows. __What is a flood wasteland? __ A flood (flood) is characterized by a rise in water on land that is usually dry, the reaching of a peak, then a descent of water (decline). Waste forms at the beginning of the flood when the water, when withdrawing, deposits materials that were in suspension or floating. These materials (mud, seeds, twigs and other debris) constitute flood wastes or flood plains. __Marking and surveying flood plains and water levels__ The marking of floodplains and water levels takes place on the ground shortly after the peak of the flood. The physical indices of the maximum water level reached (abandoned by the flood) or of the current water levels are identified and marked using permanent markers (markers). Afterwards, a land surveyor will precisely record the location and the altitude of the markers. __Point dataset “Water levels during a flood"__ The “Water levels during a flood” data set contains, for each marker, the date, altitude and location (measured by a land surveyor). There are two main types of observations made in the field: the natural flood defect (line of mud, seeds or trace of water) which indicates the maximum water level reached during the flood (called MAX) and the water level observed during the field visit (called CURRENT). The list of all attributes is provided in the dataset description sheet (Additional Information section). Despite the quality of the work carried out, the Ministry of Public Security cannot guarantee the absence of errors in the data. __Related datasets__ The “Flood markers” dataset produced by the Ministry of Public Security also contains maximum water levels reached during a flood. The link to this dataset is provided in the _Documentation_ section.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This metadataset was compiled to document scientific dive operations conducted within the Banc-des-Américains Marine Protected Area (MPA). Its purpose is to enable the tracking of field activities carried out as part of ecological monitoring of the atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) habitats and other key species. Metadata were collected for each scientific dive, following a standardized protocol implemented since 2014 that includes the date, participating team, GPS coordinates, depth, and dive duration. The released dataset contains only descriptive and contextual information related to each dive operation: dive identifier, site, date, location, conditions of execution, method used, and environmental variables when recorded. It does not include photographs, videos, raw biological observations, or analysis results. Quality control involves standardization of the metadata form, verification of GPS positions and recorded depths, as well as annual internal review of the dive series by the scientific coordination team. Established procedures ensure the completeness, consistency, and traceability of the descriptive data provided.

This data breaks down estimated hunter and harvest numbers by: * wildlife management unit (WMU) * calendar year Harvest and active hunter numbers are estimates based on replies received from a sample of hunters and are therefore subject to statistical error. Additional technical and statistical notes can be found in the data dictionary.

This data breaks down estimated hunters as well as antlered, antlerless and total harvest numbers by: * wildlife management unit (WMU) * calendar year Harvest and active hunter numbers are estimates based on replies received from a sample of resident hunters and are therefore subject to statistical error.

The ministry monitors air pollution levels and issues smog advisories when there is strong likelihood that widespread, elevated, and persistent smog levels are expected. This dataset provides a comprehensive summary in excel file format. The dataset includes the forecasts for the regions where a smog advisory was issued and the duration of the advisory for each year.

Winter LOS is a GIS file that depicts the Department of Public Work's Winter Maintenance Levels of Service on all Department of Public Works' owned roadways. The definitions associated with Winter Levels of Service can be found at http://novascotia.ca/tran/winter/WinterMaintenanceStandards.pdf

Summary The Quebec region of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) is responsible for the assessment of several fish and invertebrate stocks exploited in the Estuary and the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence. The commercial catches sampling program is one of the sources of information used to complete these assessments. The data collected by this program, at wharf or at sea, offers among other things the advantage of a relatively large spatio-temporal coverage and provides some of the necessary knowledge to assess the demography and the structure of the exploited populations. This program is implemented by specialized DFO staff whose main mandate is to collect biological data on groundfish, pelagic fish and marine invertebrate species that are commercially exploited in the various marine communities. Data This dataset on the Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) includes the metadata, sample weight, fish length, the sex and the number of specimens measured. This dataset covers the period of 1995 to present. In order to protect the confidentiality of the sources, some informations (such as those concerning the vessel) have been excluded and others (such as the date of capture) have been simplified. Entries where there was only one vessel in a fishing area for a given year were also excluded. Further information including the fishing areas coordinates can be found by clicking on the «Atlantic and Arctic commercial fisheries» and «Fishing areas» links below.

A Fire Disturbance Area represents the mapped exterior perimeter of a forest fire. Mapping is derived from a variety of sources, such as GPS points and digitized paper maps. Prior to 1998, only fires greater than 200 hectares were mapped. Since 1998, fires greater than 40 hectares have been mapped. If adequate mapping exists for fires less than 40 hectares in size, they will be included in this data class. The [Forest Fire Info Map](https://www.lioapplications.lrc.gov.on.ca/ForestFireInformationMap/index.html?viewer=FFIM.FFIM) shows active fires, current fire danger and restricted fire zones in place due to high fire danger.
