Kamouraska is a village on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence
River in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, Canada. It is part
of the Regional County Municipality of Kamouraska. The area was first
settled in the late 17th century. There is a long tradition of eel
fishing here and an interpretive centre on eel fishing is located
in the village. Anti-Catholic preacher Charles Chiniquy was born in
Kamouraska in 1809. Kamouraska was also the location of the 1839 murder
of Louis-Pascal-Achille Taché. There are salt marshes along
the river and there is an ecological reserve near the village. The
marsh provides habitat used by birds for nesting and during migration.
Cliffs along the river provide nesting habitat for Peregrine Falcons.
Seals can also be seen in the river here. At certain times of year,
the mosquitoes found in the marshes can be particularly aggressive.
The name "Kamouraska" comes from an Algonquin word meaning
"where rushes grow at the water's edge". (wikipedia)
