Seaway Shoreline Icebreaking Impacts Between Snell Lock and Lake St-Francis. Joint Observational Study (JOS)

摘要

The Joint Observational Study (JOS) was completed as a commitment by all signatory parties to the May 29, 2006 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to observe and document potential physical impacts arising from icebreaking activities in support of commercial navigation in the Saint Lawrence Seaway. In particular, this was articulated in the General Provision Clause 7.01 in the referenced MOU which indicates the purpose of the study is to observe physical effects arising from the opening of the navigation season in the area from Snell Lock to the middle of Lake Saint-Francis when ice is present in that area.
