Quebec's lake associations are fighting Eurasian watermilfoil across the Laurentians and Eastern Townships. Our biovolume maps document infestations and guide control programs.
Quebec has more than 500,000 lakes. Lake Monitor AI provides on-site bathymetric depth mapping, aquatic vegetation mapping, bottom composition and hardness mapping, fish and habitat mapping, side-scan imagery and GIS deliverables for waterbodies of every size across the province — from private ponds to major reservoirs.
Well-known Quebec waters like these — and thousands of smaller lakes and ponds — benefit from current depth, vegetation and habitat maps.
Each of these starts with an accurate map. Our surveys give you the baseline and the year-over-year comparison to act on.
Quebec's Laurentian and Eastern Townships lakes are clear Shield basins where associations de lac are fighting Eurasian watermilfoil and cyanobacteria across hundreds of waterbodies.
With more than 500,000 lakes, Quebec lake managers are dealing with eurasian watermilfoil (myriophylle à épis); cyanobacteria; lake association (association de lac) programs. Each of these questions begins with an accurate, current map: how deep the water really is, how much volume remains, where sediment and vegetation have accumulated, and what the bottom is made of. Lake Monitor AI produces that map with survey-grade sonar and GPS, then turns it into contour charts, volume tables, biovolume layers and GIS files you can act on.
Surveys in Quebec are typically scheduled May through October. Our crew arrives with its own boat, sonar and positioning equipment, covers the entire waterbody on a planned transect grid, and delivers finished maps and a written summary within two to three weeks. Deliverables are formatted to suit the documentation typically referenced by the Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP) and local authorities across the province.
Detailed, accurate depth maps of any waterbody.
In Quebec, depth and volume data is central to eurasian watermilfoil (myriophylle à épis). Our contour maps, volume tables and stage-storage curves give owners, utilities and regulators a defensible current baseline.

Across Quebec, eurasian watermilfoil (myriophylle à épis) is a recurring management issue. Biovolume mapping shows exactly where plant beds are, how dense they are and how they change after treatment, drawdown or harvesting.
Learn about aquatic vegetation mapping →Map soft sediment vs. firm bottom across the basin.
Bottom-hardness and composition layers separate firm sand and rock from soft organic sediment. For Quebec projects dealing with lake association (association de lac) programs, that map tells you where material has accumulated and where dredging or capping pays off.
Learn about bottom composition & hardness →Fish counts, depths, sizes and density.
Quebec fisheries managers, guides and lake associations use our habitat layers to plan stocking, structure placement and shoreline projects, particularly where eurasian watermilfoil (myriophylle à épis) is a priority.
Learn about fish & habitat mapping →High-resolution imagery of submerged features.
Side-scan imagery reveals submerged timber, rock piles, old roadbeds, debris and infrastructure on Quebec lakebeds — useful for cyanobacteria, navigation safety and dam or intake inspections.
Learn about side-scan imagery & contours →Custom digital and print maps for stakeholders.
Every Quebec survey ships as GIS-ready shapefiles, GeoTIFFs and PDFs that drop straight into county, utility or consultant workflows — including the documentation typically requested for lake association (association de lac) programs.

We plan Quebec surveys around the May through October window, launch access and water levels, so the crew is on the water once and captures every layer in a single visit — even where eurasian watermilfoil (myriophylle à épis) complicates logistics.

We regularly survey lakes, ponds and reservoirs around Montréal, Québec City, Sherbrooke, Mont-Tremblant and Saguenay — and we travel to any waterbody in Quebec, from private farm ponds and HOA lakes to the largest reservoirs. Travel is quoted up front with no surprises.
No lake is too small or too large. The same survey-grade workflow scales from a one-acre pond to a reservoir with hundreds of miles of shoreline anywhere in the province.
Tell us where it is and what you need. We'll plan the survey around the May through October window and quote it with no obligation.
