Cycle II, Irving Shipbuilding Inc. Projects

The overarching objective of this project was to identify, observe, and respond to risks that may impact marine ecosystem services relied upon by Inuit communities. The project works with community members from Cambridge Bay, Nunavut to identify ecosystem services that the community is most concerned with. Within the project, the team, comprised of both scientific and law experts, is also developing the scientific capacity to study and respond to some of these forthcoming pressures on Arctic marine ecosystem services.
