All of these industries depend on a healthy environment, and since water resources impact everything in the surrounding ecosystem, it\u2019s crucial to the landscape and local economy to protect the surrounding aquatic ecosystems. Catherine and Louise explain why most conservation efforts have historically gone towards marine and forestry resources, discuss fieldwork during Canada\u2019s winters for climate monitoring, describe the cultural exchange of knowledge to better steward and protect these areas, and more.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a1ee40 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5a1ee40\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2aca926 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2aca926\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gaspesie-chics-chocs-1024x768.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1016\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gaspesie-chics-chocs-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gaspesie-chics-chocs-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gaspesie-chics-chocs-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gaspesie-chics-chocs-16x12.webp 16w, https:\/\/braidingknowledgescanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/gaspesie-chics-chocs.webp 1363w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-84645d7 about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"84645d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tParc de la Gasp\u00e9sie.

To do this, the researchers measured ice and snow levels so they could compare the lake structure in winter relative to summer. They also collected genetic information from the wildlife in the lakes and other measures (such as fatty acid levels).

One finding is the surprising amount of variability among the different lakes. For example, one lake will have large Arctic char in it, while the neighboring lake has only tiny Arctic char. The variability among lakes extends to their colour, which shows that there are very different nutrients in the different lakes. \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b05ed0a about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b05ed0a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAnother interesting finding is that there is also major variability within lakes between seasons.

Based on what has been seen in other regions across the country, it is likely that the distribution of species will be affected. The region is at the southernmost edge of cold weather species\u2019 ranges, and as the climate warms the edge of the ranges will start to move northwards to keep these cold weather species in a suitable climate. At the moment, the alpine lakes act like refugia, allowing species that would normally be found in the arctic, like Arctic char, to survive. As warming continues, these species will have difficulty surviving in the region because these refugia will disappear. \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb0bb0c about-links elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eb0bb0c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe vast and diverse Chic-Choc mountain range harbors a rich ecosystem.
