Cosmic plankton is an expedition of women and men who want to magnify the beauty of the St. Lawrence River and Gulf, its richness, its fragility and what remains to be explored. The expedition aimed to explore the Mingan Archipelago and Anticosti Island, areas likely to become marine protected areas. Under pristine skies, isolated from any light pollution, the explorers discovered the infinitely small through plankton and the infinitely large through the cosmos, sharing their knowledge and questioning themselves about the role of humans in the universe.

The three episodes, grouped together in the Appel du Golfe series, were launched during Oceans Day, June 8, 2020, to highlight the local actor communities engaged in the protection of the St. Lawrence. In partnership with Parafilms, EcoMaris, MICS, FDS and SNAP-Qc, the series’ key message focuses on achieving the new overarching objective of 30% for 2030.
