The Zec de la Rivière-Moisie (ZEC of Moisie River) is a "zone d'exploitation contrôlée" (controlled harvesting zone) (ZEC) in the city of Sept-îles in Sept-Rivières Regional County Municipality (MRC), in the administrative region of North Shore, in Quebec, in Canada. "Zec de la Rivière-Moisie" is one of 22 controlled harvesting zone in Quebec dedicated to fishing salmon. It is run by two nonprofit organizations, mandated by the Government of Québec: * The "Association de protection de la rivière Moisie (APRM)" (Association for the Protection of the river Moisie) (APRM) administers the first 19 miles of the Moisie River starting from the mouth; * The "Camp de pêche de la rivière Moisie" (Fishing Camp of the river Moisie) administers the following eight kilometers upstream. The fame of the river Moisie characterized a priori by its wild and natural environment. The panoramas of mountains and cliffs are superb. In addition, fish abound in this river and many specimens collected have a significant size. == Geography == Located on the North Shore of St. Lawrence River, the Moisie River takes its source from water bodies of lakes Opocopa and Ménistouc, having an elevation of above sea level.〔(Government of Quebec - Sustainable Development, Environment and Fight against changes climate )〕 The main tributaries of the Moisie River are Pékans River which begins south of the Mont Wright (Quebec) and Nipissis River (deriving its source in Lake Wacouno). The watershed of the Moisie River is between that of St. Margaret River (west side) and Matamec River (east side). The waters of the Moisie River descend to 410 km〔(The Canadian Encyclopedia: Moisie River )〕 up to its mouth in the cove at Elzéar, 25 kilometers east of Sept-Îles, where the river empties into the St. Lawrence river. The waters of the cove flow into the St. Lawrence River to Moisie, Quebec between the "Pointe Moisie" and "East Point". This loop provides a safe haven to protect ships from heavy seas. Just before its mouth, the river Moisie forms a large bend at 180 degrees for around two peninsulas: * The first one that is oriented towards the East is 5.3 km long; a small hamlet called "Elbow-de-la-Rivière Moisie" is located at the tip of the peninsula. The Route 138 pass through the peninsula on the lengthwise; * The second runs along the bank of the St. Lawrence River, lying to the west (the opposite of the first). This second peninsula begins to Matamec flats where there is a concentration area of waterfowl. Point Mercier is located at the western end of the peninsula. Going up the river Moisie after crossing the cove at Elzéar great bend and crossed the river, boaters encounter pits Pomeroy (km 20) Hatchery (24.3 km) and Royal (25.3 km). At km 30.1, boaters pass under the railway bridge connecting Sept-Îles to Wabush and Labrador City, which will run along the river (east side) up towards the north. Boaters then enter the Matamec Ecological Reserve. Then, boaters crossing "Basin" and "Rapids of 12th Mille" at km 31.7. Above, boaters crossing the mouth of the "Big Creek Mercier" in the 42 km upriver Still, boaters face "Pointe de la Fourche" (at km 54). While at kilometer 59.9, boaters encounter zone "Falls". This river is deep at the bottom of a narrow valley, usually surrounded by high mountains. The Montagnais still use the river as a route into that territory. The river has a rapid because of the sudden drop in its path flow; it has several waterfalls and rapids. The river also has several pits suitable for bolting and retention of salmon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zec de la Rivière-Moisie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
