Title:
Braiding Western Science and Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit Monitoring in Support of Freshwater and Fish Health Characterization for Inuu’tuti, the Baker Lake Regional Cumulative Effects Monitoring Program
Agreement Number:
PKA-2122-0039
Agreement Value:
$383,327.00
Agreement Date:
Sep 14, 2021 - Aug 31, 2024
Description:
This project addresses fish health and water quality at select sites of community concern through the collection of concurrent Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) and western science descriptions of water and fish quality. Proposed work and the broader Inuu’tuti program are intended to characterize and monitor cumulative effects from climate change, glacial rebound, mining, and population growth on the aquatic environment. Project results will serve as a baseline dataset for community and regional decision makers to assess cumulative effects, inform project decisions and determine appropriate mitigation measures and adaptive responses.
