The current focus of our work is not on aquatic areas. However, we are working with voluntary landowners who have aquatic areas on their property. There are not very clear statistics on degradation for our region. Normally, the provincial government does the follow-up. But because of a funding shortfall, it has not been done. It was done in Laval, and a 20% to 30% per year rate of degradation and loss of wetlands was identified. The statistics must be more or less the same for us.
On June 6th, 2013. See this statement in context.
