Eeyou Coastal Habitat Project

The **Eeyou Coastal Habitat Project** is a collaboration between the Kuzyk and Ehn research groups at the University of Manitoba, researchers at other universities across Canada, and the Cree in Eeyou Istchee, to study the coastal oceanography of east James Bay. The research project is part of a larger Cree-driven research program administered by the Niskamoon Corporation that seeks to address two central research questions: 1. What are the environmental factors influencing the health of eelgrass along the coast? 2. What are the impacts of eelgrass ecosystem health on geese and consequently Cree hunting? The University of Manitoba is collecting oceanographic data to contribute to addressing the first research question and Kuzyk is leading the integration of the studies across the whole program. The oceanography research is focused on assessing the influence of river discharge and sea ice on the properties of the coastal waters and sediments. Other members of the Coastal Habitat Comprehensive Research Program are focused on assessing eelgrass health, quantifying riverine fluxes, and studying the waterfowl. ## Project Publications All reports, summaries, and other publications for this project can be found under **Related Publications** below (click on the arrow to the right to expand the list). ### Key reports - **[Final project report](https://canwin-datahub.ad.umanitoba.ca/data/en/publication/chcrp-final-report)** - **[Project summary (Cree)](https://canwin-datahub.ad.umanitoba.ca/data/en/publication/coastal-habitat-summary-cree)** - **[Project summary (English)](https://canwin-datahub.ad.umanitoba.ca/data/en/publication/coastal-habitat-summary)** - ** [Summary of key findings (Cree)](https://canwin-datahub.ad.umanitoba.ca/data/en/publication/chcrp-key-findings-cree)** - ** [Summary of key findings (English)](https://canwin-datahub.ad.umanitoba.ca/data/en/publication/chcrp-key-findings-english)****艾尤沿海栖息地项目（Eeyou Coastal Habitat Project）** 由曼尼托巴大学的库济克（Kuzyk）与恩（Ehn）研究团队、加拿大其他多所高校的研究者，以及埃尤伊斯特谢（Eeyou Istchee）的克里人（Cree）合作开展，旨在研究詹姆斯湾东部的近岸海洋学特征。本研究项目隶属于由尼斯卡穆恩公司（Niskamoon Corporation）管理的大型克里主导研究计划，该计划旨在解决两个核心研究问题： 1. 哪些环境因素影响沿岸鳗草（eelgrass）的健康状况？ 2. 鳗草生态系统健康状况对雁类种群，进而对克里人的狩猎活动产生何种影响？ 曼尼托巴大学负责收集海洋学数据以助力解决第一个研究问题，库济克则牵头统筹整个项目的研究整合工作。本次海洋学研究聚焦于评估河流径流与海冰对近岸水体及沉积物特性的影响。沿海栖息地综合研究计划（Coastal Habitat Comprehensive Research Program）的其他成员则分别承担鳗草健康状况评估、河流通量量化以及水禽研究相关工作。 ## 项目出版物 本项目的所有报告、摘要及其他相关出版物均可在下方「相关出版物」板块查阅（点击右侧箭头可展开完整列表）。 ### 关键报告 - **[最终项目报告](https://canwin-datahub.ad.umanitoba.ca/data/en/publication/chcrp-final-report)** - **[项目摘要（克里语版）](https://canwin-datahub.ad.umanitoba.ca/data/en/publication/coastal-habitat-summary-cree)** - **[项目摘要（英语版）](https://canwin-datahub.ad.umanitoba.ca/data/en/publication/coastal-habitat-summary)** - **[核心发现摘要（克里语版）](https://canwin-datahub.ad.umanitoba.ca/data/en/publication/chcrp-key-findings-cree)** - **[核心发现摘要（英语版）](https://canwin-datahub.ad.umanitoba.ca/data/en/publication/chcrp-key-findings-english)**
