Battures aux Loups Marins is a significant coastal area located on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, situated within the Upper Estuary region. This expansive intertidal zone, characterized by its extensive mudflats and shallows, is a crucial ecological site recognized for its importance to marine mammals and waterbirds. The area serves as a prime gathering place for seals and is a designated part of the critical habitat for the endangered St. Lawrence Estuary beluga whale population. From an angling perspective, it offers unique shore and surf fishing opportunities within a dramatic and protected marine environment, where the confluence of freshwater and saltwater creates a rich foraging ground.
