Résumé anglais The Environmental Atlas of the St. Lawrence aimed at reviewing the state of the river environment. The atlas is intended to sensitize, inform and educate the general public about the basic components of the environment of the St. Lawrence. It aims at informing the public of the uses and degradations of the river and, of the actions of protection and conservation undertaken for its restoration. The paper begins with considerations on the place of the atlas among the other tools of environmental management, especially GIS. The presentation of the atlas aims, structure and contents follows. Data gathering, processing and graphical rendering are also discussed. The atlas will be composed of twenty loose leaf, large size, posterlike plates. Each plate combines maps, graphic arts, graphs, diagrams, photographs and text.
