Cycle II, Early Career Faculty

The 2017 North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium mortality crisis initiated unprecedented industry restrictions in Canada. Fisheries and shipping industries, which contribute the top threats to the NARW, Southern Resident killer whale and beluga whale must increasingly demonstrate that they are environmental stewards to protect their market access. To help species and industries thrive together, this project will develop informed, science-based strategies, and engage Canadian citizens, government, and industry members directly in our research.
