This fall we launched our new 3-year project - Protecting Coastal Wetlands in NS through Stewardship & Collaboration! 🌾 Working with partners, we will: ⚒ Build capacity & create an equipment bank 📊 Collect data ☀️ Host workshops   This project is funded by @FishOceansCAN.

Next on the agenda is our first panel of the #2022OTNSymposium—’Building strong Indigenous research partnerships’, featuring @shelley_denny, @UINR, Alanna Syliboy @Netukulimk, @andreajanereid @UBC & moderated by @fishgovernance @dalhousieu.

Alanna Syliboy @netukulimk shares considerations for engaging in science: how is the research benefitting the community, the species, and the water? It’s important to be mindful, to not overwork communities and organizations, and to respect knowledge holders and data sovereignty.

@NSAgriculture @Netukulimk @MikmaqRights We ask ATV riders to avoid the area to allow the soil to stabilize.

We continue to work in partnership with the Mi’kmaw Conservation Group (@Netukulimk), the commercial fishery and @AcadiaU to monitor fish passage at the Windsor causeway.

@NSAgriculture @Netukulimk @MikmaqRights The area was exposed after the lowering of the reservoir which has improved fish passage through the existing tidal gates.

Last week DFO staff were in Windsor #NS with @NSAgriculture and The Confederacy of Mainland Mi’kmaq (@Netukulimk) to collaboratively plant seeds provided by KMKNO (@MikmaqRights) in the Avon River area to stabilize the soil and help reduce dust.
