7.1. The Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs will provide municipalities with technical support by making available a guide for the application of this Policy explaining the technical aspects associated with protecting, rehabilitating and enhancing riparian zones.

The Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs may also use other means to provide additional information to the metropolitan communities, regional county municipalities and cities exercising the powers of a regional county municipality, local municipalities and the public on the objectives and nature of the Protection Policy for Lakeshores, Riverbanks, Littoral Zones and Floodplains, and to help them better understand that the survival of lakes and watercourses depends not only on protecting them from pollution but also on maintaining aquatic and riparian zones in their natural state and rehabilitating degraded areas.
