Summary:
The largest estuary in the world, the Gulf of St Lawrence is defined broadly by an ecology that stretches from the upper reaches of the St Lawrence River to the Gulf Stream, and by a web of influences that reach from the heart of the continent to northern Europe. For more than a millennium, the gulf’s strategic location and rich marine resources have made it a destination and a gateway, a cockpit and a crossroads, and a highway and a home.
