Project Description:
Recent increases in resource development activities are projected to increase shipping traffic in Canada’s eastern arctic marine regions. However, there is not enough information to properly assess potential ecological impacts of year-round shipping lanes on marine wildlife. Our goal is to determine the distribution and abundance patterns of Thick-billed Murres, in an effort to identify key marine habitats. At the Cape Graham Moore colony, we are investigating whether birds breeding at a variety of specific locations within the colony utilize different marine habitat areas, and whether this changes between breeding stages (incubating eggs vs feeding chicks). This work will establish a baseline of marine habitat use from which potential future impacts of resource development to marine birds may be assessed. It will also help to provide the information necessary to develop efficient monitoring protocols for Canada’s northern Thick-billed Murre colonies.

Waste and Impacts
Environmental Impacts
We attempt to minimize the impact our project has on the land, water, and wildlife. We will not use any motorized vehicles at either site, and will have a small amount of gasoline for use in a generator. We store food and gear appropriately to avoid contaminating the surrounding areas. We burn garbage at high temperatures and will transport non-combustible material back to town. We will dispose of grey water and sewage in sumps that are backfilled to fit the contours of the landscape.
We will not use any motorized vehicles on the island, and we will have a small generator and camp stove. There is a possibility of a small fuel spill from these. We will have an Emergency Spill Kit and Spill Contingency Plan for the fuels used in camp. Fuel is stored in Jerry Cans in a sump to localize any potential spills.

We have chatted with the people of Pond Inlet and NRI about this research project. We first met with both parties in 2016 to begin monitoring the population of thick-billed murres at Cape Graham Moore prior to mining activities in the region which was a priority for NRI, the community of Pond Inlet and many other territorial and federal government parties. The Mary River mine is now active with a significant increase in shipping activity in the region. To complete our objectives and research priorities outlined by NRI and the community, we would like to return to Cape Graham Moore to assess the impacts of shipping activities from the Mary River Mine on marine birds in the region.
Local Services and Local Employment:
s3.9.4: Will the applicant rely on local services and employment where possible?
YES
i. Describe the services retained and the people to be employed.
We hope to hire a local person to help assist in meeting our research objectives at the field site.
