Lower trophic level blue food potential (BFP) in Canada’s coastal Arctic
FY 2025-26 · 2025-09-12
Summary
This project aims to bolster the resilience of Arctic communities and ecosystems by evaluating the potential of diversifying blue foods and harvesting mechanisms in an active co-production of knowledge process. Building on existing relationships and research, two case studies are proposed, ranging from examining the emerging fishery in Sanikiluaq, NU, to exploring diversification of community-driven subsistence harvesting in Ulukhaktok, NT.

Description (French)
Ce projet a pour but de renforcer la résilience des collectivités et des écosystèmes de l’Arctique par l’évaluation, au moyen de processus actifs de coproduction de connaissances, du potentiel de diversification des aliments bleus et des méthodes de collecte. S’appuyant sur les liens établis ainsi que les recherches existantes, deux études de cas sont proposées. Elles vont de l’examen du développement de la pêche à Sanikiluaq, au Nunavut, à l’exploration de la diversification de la récolte de subsistance menée par la communauté à Ulukhaktok, au Nunavut.
