Wildlife Reserve Status
The Sainte-Anne River is an exceptional river with an exceptional status. It is divided among Gaspésie National Park (upstream sector from km 25 to 50), the Sainte-Anne River Wildlife Reserve (downstream sector from km 0 to 25), the Sainte-Anne-Nord-Est River Sanctuary (from km 50 to 68), and the sector upstream from the Sainte-Anne Falls to Lake Sainte-Anne (from km 50 to 70).
The protection of the Sainte-Anne River salmon was one of the four founding objectives behind the creation of the Gaspésie Conservation National Park in the 1930s.
The objectives of Quebec national parks and wildlife reserves include protecting and studying flora and fauna resources. These objectives are even enshrined in the development and conservation laws and regulations of the Government of Quebec.
Today, salmon fishing activities are primarily managed by ZECs (Controlled Harvesting Zones). Since the early 1990s, the vast majority of Quebec’s salmon rivers (Wildlife Reserves and ZECs) have been managed by local organizations holding non-profit organization (NPO) status.
