Coastal Ecosystem Resilience and Connectivity
FY 2024-25
Summary
Coastal regions support high socio-economic and environmental value and are under
threat from human activities. This research program will lead collaborative national
and international studies on the chemical, biological and social connectivity of
coastal ecosystems, primarily in Arctic and Atlantic Canada. It will use innovative
empirical research, social science and local knowledge (including First Nations) to
develop new insights on three objectives: 1) determining how migratory animals
move nutrients and contaminants along and across coastlines; 2) delineating key
coastal habitats for biodiversity and management; and 3) evaluating current and
historical effects of human activities on coastal habitats.
