Abstract
L'Atlas environnemental du Saint-Laurent est destinés à présenter un bilan de l'état de l'environnement du fleuve Saint-Laurent, Ses objectifs d'éducation, de sensibilisation et de vulgarisation visent à faire connaître à un public non spécialisé les composantes fondamentales de l'environnement fluvial et à l'informer sur les usages qui en sont faits, sur les dégradations dont il est l'objet et sur les actions de protection et de conservation entreprises ou à entreprendre pour le restaurer. L'article situe d'abord la place de l'atlas parmi les autres outils de la gestion environnementale, notamment les S.I.G., avant de présenter ses objectifs, sa structure et son contenu. L'atlas sera composé d'une vingtaine de planches autonomes de grand format, de style "planche-affiche". Une planche regroupe à la fois des cartes, des textes, des photographies, des schémas, des graphiques.
