Advancing Community Biomonitoring, Fishery Assessment and Data Stewardship in Nunavut
FY 2021-22 · 2021-09-07
Summary
This study will expand on training provided by the Nunavut Community Aquatic Monitoring Program (NCAMP) to include the use of In Reach satellite devices and a specially designed "Fishery Assessment App" that will assist in the monitoring, reporting and assessment of subsistence and commercial fisheries. This information will be automatically uploaded on to a Nunavut Fishery Atlas that can be accessed by web browser. The project aims to enhance local capacity in biomonitoring, data stewardship, and management for empowered participation in co-management and better preparation for the impacts of climate change on food availability, wildlife migration, and sustainable harvesting.

Description (French)
Cette étude s’appuiera sur la formation dispensée par le Programme communautaire de surveillance aquatique du Nunavut pour intégrer l’utilisation de dispositifs de technologie satellite inReach et d’une « application d’évaluation des pêches » spécialement conçue pour faciliter la surveillance et l’évaluation des pêches de subsistance et commerciales ainsi que l'établissement de rapports à ce sujet. Ces informations seront automatiquement téléchargées dans un atlas des pêches du Nunavut, accessible par navigateur Web. Le projet vise à renforcer les capacités locales en matière de biosurveillance, d’intendance et de gestion des données, afin de permettre une participation accrue à la cogestion et une meilleure préparation aux impacts des changements climatiques sur la disponibilité de la nourriture, la migration de la faune et les récoltes durables.

Program Name (French)
Programme d’application des connaissances polaires
Program Purpose
This Program aims to lead the mobilization of polar science and technology into action. CHARS will "analyse and disseminate polar knowledge from its Science and Technology Program, as well as that from current federal, territorial and other stakeholders, and investments to inform management, programming and policies; promote Artic science and technology nationally and internationally; and build capacity through training, outreach, and learning opportunities. This will ensure polar knowledge is relevant to stakeholders and builds a science culture in Canada.
Program Purpose (French)
Ce programme vise à guider la mise en pratique des sciences et de la technologie polaires. POLAIRE analysera et diffusera le savoir polaire obtenu par l’entremise de son programme de sciences et de technologie ainsi que des intervenants fédéraux, territoriaux et autres et elle réalisera des investissements afin d’orienter la gestion, les programmes et les politiques; elle fera la promotion des sciences et de la technologie arctiques à l’échelle nationale et internationale; et elle renforcera les capacités grâce à des possibilités de formation, de diffusion et d’apprentissage. Ainsi, l’accent sera mis sur le savoir polaire qui est utile aux intervenants et aux collectivités autochtones, et qui développe une culture scientifique au Canada qui intègre le savoir local et autochtone.
