In order to effectively fight against aquatic invasive species, the Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks has formulated a series of best practices. Among these good practices, cleaning watercraft greatly reduces the risks of dispersal of aquatic invasive species, whether animals or plants. In recent years, several municipalities in Quebec have installed cleaning stations (permanent or mobile), near water bodies, in order to protect them from the arrival of new invasive species or to reduce the risks of dispersion. The MELCCFP participated in this effort by funding several cleaning stations through its funding program. In order to facilitate the planning of nautical activities for citizens, it is important to make the location of these cleaning stations available. Thus, this dataset lists the location, address and name of known cleaning stations in Quebec. WARNINGS: * The identification of these stations was carried out in collaboration with the Reunification of organizations of watersheds of Quebec and the Laurentides Regional Environment Council, as part of projects funded by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, as well as the organizations managing the stations. There may be a time lag between the position listed in the data set and the actual location of the station. If you notice such a discrepancy, please inform the data set managers so that the necessary corrections can be made. * The “mobile” cleaning stations were positioned at their most frequent locations during the year. Depending on the season and current events in a locality, mobile stations may not be parked at the location listed. Update * If you believe that information is incorrect for one of the stations, please send [DEFA@mffp.gouv.qc.ca] (mailto: DEFA@mffp.gouv.qc.ca) the information that needs to be changed to [] (mailto:) the information that needs to be changed, including the unique identifier of the station (Station_Identifier field) in question.This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).
