La perception des changements environnementaux : le cas de la collectivité côtière de Shippagan (Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada)

In order to support coastal communities in the process of establishing attenuation and adaptation strategies to environmental changes, it is essential to understand how people perceive these changes. The aim of this study is to verify to what extent people’s perception of environmental changes match...
