This is particularly the case for whale-watching cruises and the shipping industry, which were the targets of several criticisms. Another strongly expressed concern is water quality in the estuary. Democratizing access to the river was also often mentioned. In order to ensure the protection of the expanded Marine Park, concrete and effective measures are expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);margin-bottom:0\">While some participants consider existing conservation tools relevant, others would like to see stricter regulations, including speed limits. Some regulations are viewed as an infringement of individual freedoms, particularly the ban on personal watercraft in the Kamouraska sector.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-esab-accordion-child\"><div class=\"esab__head\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><div class=\"esab__heading_txt\"><h5 class=\"esab__heading_tag\">4.
