Resumen

The present Regulations enforce the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park Act (S.C. 1997, c. 37). These Regulations provide a framework for aquatic activities in the park, including the most popular whale watching. This is the only park in Canada that has regulations that take into account the fragile status of certain marine mammals. In particular, the Regulations establish distances to be respected by watercraft to ensure that whale populations are disturbed as little as possible by human activity. There are two Parts to the Regulations. The first Part sets forth the conditions for obtaining permits, such as for cruise operators. The second Part stipulates behaviour guidelines to be followed when observing marine mammals. The text consists of 24 sections and 1 Schedule.
