Community-driven Sea Ice and Ocean Research in the Contrasting Coastal Domains of Hudson Bay

The purpose of this project is to expand the highly successful community-driven research in eastern Hudson Bay to northwest Hudson Bay (Chesterfield Inlet and Naujaat), with a goal towards establishing comparison sites between southeastern and northwestern Hudson Bay. This comparison will support bay-wide monitoring objectives, promote inter-jurisdictional information exchange, and help test scientific hypotheses about contrasting oceanography and marine life between northwest and southeast Hudson Bay.
