During our workshops in communities this year, we heard concerns about impacts from underwater noise. We attended a Fisheries and Oceans Canada workshop this week focused on reducing impacts from human-caused underwater noise, information sharing, and the creation of an Arctic Network to continue communication. We will use what we learned in the marine planning process for the Nunavik Marine Region!
