Saguenay fjord from l'Anse de la Tabatière.

The Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park is a National Marine Conservation Area, one of two in the national park system, located where the fjord of the Saguenay River meets the estuary of the Saint Lawrence River. It is the first national park in Québec to protect a purely marine environment. Whales are drawn to the rich food supply stirred up by the mixing of waters here, including a colony of belugas.

This park is co-managed by Société des établissements de plein air du Québec (Sépaq) and Parks Canada.
