During these years, Pierre worked on many dossiers concerning the Saint-Laurence River and the Great Lakes, in particular the long-term monitoring of the evolution of fish communities, the status and management of Lake Sturgeon, perch and\u00a0 American Eel populations, the protection and restauration of aquatic habitats, the free passage of fish, the biology and control of exotic invasive species as well as the recovery of vulnerable species including the Copper Redhorse, an endangered fish present only in southern Quebec. Believing that better knowledge leads to better decisions, as a wildlife manager Pierre worked closely with academia. In the course of his activities with the PHRAGMITES Group, he supervised Melissa Larochelle\u2019s thesis on the impact of the common reed on the reproduction of pike. Though retired, Pierre will continue to advise the group.
