The Mingan Island Cetacean Study (MICS) focuses its research on the ecology of four species of whales found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence: blue, humpback, fin and minke whales. Its interpretation centre combines both research and education. Biologists share their knowledge with the public on a daily basis, both at sea and in the interpretation centre.
Participate in a guided tour of the interpretation centre, where visitors are invited to find out more about the marine mammals living in the St. Lawrence. Certain evenings are reserved for presentations or slideshows. MICS also offers visitors the opportunity to accompany biologists on day trips and contribute to their data collection or take part in one-week research sessions as part of the research team.
