Il convient d’avoir à l'esprit que les cours d’eau et le littoral sont des milieux dynamiques qui évoluent en permanence. L'effet de chasse provoqué par une crue conduit à l'arrachement de la végétation présente dans le lit du cours d’eau(qui peut former des embâcles) et à la destruction locale d’habitats et d’espèces. 2, record 1, French, - effet%20de%20chasse

Shoreline hardening is the clearing of the natural vegetation along the shore and into the water and putting in things like concrete docks and walls right next to the water's edge. Cutting the grass right to the water's edge is another way of hardening the shoreline. Water becomes dirty and both natural plants and animal communities are destroyed. This causes a dramatic loss of habitat. 2, record 2, English, - shoreline%20hardening

In almost 5 decades, WWF (formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund) has become one of the world's largest and most respected independent conservation organizations. As the world’s leading conservation organization, we have a hugely important mission. We’re here to stop the degradation of our planet’s natural environment, and build a future where people live in harmony with nature. We do this by: – protecting biodiversity – the magnificent array of living things that inhabit our planet and the places where they live – reducing humanity’s footprint on the natural world by challenging wasteful consumption and pollution, and promoting sustainable ways to use the Earth’s resources. 2, record 18, English, - World%20Wide%20Fund%20for%20Nature

Le WWF International, dont le siège social est en Suisse, est le plus important organisme indépendant voué à la conservation de la nature au monde. Afin d’accomplir sa mission, le WWF coopère avec de nombreux partenaires, y compris des gouvernements, des organismes non gouvernementaux, le secteur privé et des individus. Le WWF concentre ses efforts de conservation sur trois éléments desquels dépend en grande partie la vie : la forêt, l'eau douce ainsi que l'océan et le littoral. À l'échelle du globe, le WWF travaille de plus à la réduction de l'émission des gaz à effet de serre qui modifie le climat à l'échelle mondiale et menace notre survie. 3, record 18, French, - Fonds%20mondial%20pour%20la%20nature

Through the Shellfish Water Quality Protection Program, Environment Canada is responsible for monitoring bacterial water quality in shellfish growing areas. These surveys represent a substantial commitment of effort and resources to ensure the proper evaluation of approximately 25,000 km of Atlantic coastline. Water surveys are used to determine the classification of coastal waters as to their suitability for the harvesting of molluscan shellfish. The surveys are based on the sanitary and bacteriological water quality conditions in the area. The Shellfish Water Quality Protection Program also promotes pollution prevention, remediation and restoration of shellfish growing areas. 1, record 22, English, - Shellfish%20Water%20Quality%20Protection%20Program

Un niveau substantiel d’efforts est nécessaires pour assurer l'évaluation adéquate des quelques 25 ooo km du littoral atlantique. Des relevés d’analyses bactériologiques permettent de déterminer quelles eaux côtières conviennent le mieux à la récolte de mollusques. Ces relèves se fondent sur la qualité sanitaire et bactériologique de l'eau de la région.

The great differences between the littoral and profundal benthos are controlled in part by the environmental conditions and in part by the life cycles of the individual species. In the littoral zone with its coarser sediments, wave action, a continuous supply of oxygen, warm temperatures, plus light and plants, diversity of species is the chief characteristic. Insects and mollusks are dominant, many of them confined to the littoral. All other groups of fresh-water animals also occur here. 1, record 30, English, - littoral%20benthos

The great differences between the littoral and profundal benthos are controlled in part by the environmental conditions and in part by the life cycles of the individual species ... In the profundal zone ... soft sediments, virtual absence of light, low temperatures, and potentially severe chemical conditions, especially reduction in oxygen content, severely restrict the species composition. Midge larvae, oligochaetes, and fingernail clams are the most characteristic of the larger animals. 5, record 31, English, - abyssal%20benthos
