VEGETATION - DISTRIBUTION
The shallow waters of the north and south shores and their gently sloping banks promote the growth of vast stands of aquatic plants.

One finds here the absence of aquatic plants in the waterway.
The movement of ships creates significant waves.
Saint-François Bay
The highest densities of macrophytes are observed near the south shore, by the mouths of the Yamaska and Richelieu Rivers.
