Un comité de science citoyenne sur le maritime voit le jour à Trois-Pistoles | Journal l'Horizon

A new citizen science committee focused on the maritime environment has been established in Trois-Pistoles, aiming to engage the community in addressing climate change and environmental challenges. The group, supported by local experts and institutions like the University of Quebec at Rimouski, is launching its official activities with a public event on June 13, featuring scientific conferences and the unveiling of a new open-source maritime observatory. This innovative project includes a multi-instrumented station at the local dock that will collect real-time data on waves, tides, and weather, making this information publicly accessible via a dedicated website. By fostering participatory science and scientific literacy, the committee seeks to empower residents to make informed decisions and enhance the region's resilience against environmental changes.
