“Using Traditional Knowledge to Create a Coastal Resource Inventory in Nunavut”

For the past two years the Government of Nunavut, working through the territorial Department of the Environment, has pursued the acquisition of information on coastal resources (mammals, fish, birds, invertebrates and plants) through a process of interviews with community elders. The resulting information, placed into a GIS format will be used for conservation, monitoring and sustainable economic development.
