A East Hudson Bay Network research initiative on regional metal accumulation in the marine food web

A East Hudson Bay Network research initiative on regional metal accumulation in the marine food web Communities in east Hudson Bay and James Bay are concerned about ecosystem changes observed in recent decades, particularly related to sea-ice conditions, and also about potential impacts of contaminants from long-range atmospheric transport and regional human activities. The Arctic Eider Society’s Community-Driven Research Network (CDRN) was established to measure and better understand large-scale cumulative environmental impacts in east Hudson Bay and James Bay. Building on CDRN collaborations and activities in five communities (Sanikiluaq, Kuujjuaraapik, Inukjuak, Umiujaq, Chisasibi), this Northern Contaminants Program (NCP) community-based project generated new information on metal bioaccumulation that provide a regionally integrated perspective on metal exposure in the marine environment of east Hudson Bay and James Bay. 2022-09-01 Environment and Climate Change Canada open-ouvert@tbs-sct.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentMetalsEnvironmentHudson Baymetalsfood webcommunity-based monitoring View ECCC Data Mart (English)HTML https://data-donnees.ec.gc.ca/data/substances/monitor/a-east-hudson-bay-network-research-initiative-on-regional-metal-accumulation-in-the-marine-food-web/?lang=en View ECCC Data Mart (French)HTML https://data-donnees.ec.gc.ca/data/substances/monitor/a-east-hudson-bay-network-research-initiative-on-regional-metal-accumulation-in-the-marine-food-web/?lang=fr Synopsis of research conducted under the 2016-2017 Northern Contaminants ProgramHTML https://science.gc.ca/eic/site/063.nsf/eng/h_97853.html Synopsis of research conducted under the 2015-2016 Northern Contaminants ProgramHTML https://science.gc.ca/eic/site/063.nsf/eng/h_97663.html Synopsis of research conducted under the 2014-2015 Northern Contaminants ProgramHTML https://science.gc.ca/eic/site/063.nsf/eng/h_97664.html Synopsis of research conducted under the 2013-2014 Northern Contaminants ProgramHTML https://science.gc.ca/eic/site/063.nsf/eng/h_97665.html Synopsis of research conducted under the 2016-2017 Northern Contaminants ProgramHTML https://science.gc.ca/eic/site/063.nsf/fra/h_97853.html Synopsis of research conducted under the 2015-2016 Northern Contaminants ProgramHTML https://science.gc.ca/eic/site/063.nsf/fra/h_97663.html Synopsis of research conducted under the 2014-2015 Northern Contaminants ProgramHTML https://science.gc.ca/eic/site/063.nsf/fra/h_97664.html Synopsis of research conducted under the 2013-2014 Northern Contaminants ProgramHTML https://science.gc.ca/eic/site/063.nsf/fra/h_97665.html
