Project Description:
Our goal is to increase awareness, and educate Adventure Canada's guests, on the wildlife of the Canadian Arctic. We have achieved this by cautiously viewing in the field that is monitored and interpreted by our experienced guides. The purpose for our stop is to provide educational travel for Adventure Canada guests. To provide clients with the opportunity to view wildlife in a manner that is respectful, educational, and supervised by appropriate guides. Guides on-site will assist in the interpretation of the wildlife we encounter and land we are on. Zodiac Cruise at Prince Leopold Island, Coburg Island, Cape Hay, Isabella bay, Cape Graham Moore Clients (max 200 & 35 staff) will be in Zodiacs with 10 people in each boat with an average of 18-20 Zodiacs in the water at one time, with a maximum of 20 in the water at one time. We are on average cruising for a max of 1 hour on Zodiacs at each stop. Zodiac cruising will be the main way of viewing wildlife. We may land at Tay Bay on Bylot Island and go on a hike as well. All passengers will be briefed by staff to leave sites as they were when we land and not to take anything or disturb habitat/wildlife. No structures will be erected at any of the sites. We are obtaining permits with Parks Canada on our visit here. At all of these locations, we may launch our kayaks if the conditions are favourable. We will follow an approved kayak guide to guest ratio. As a cruise operator, we hope to visit these areas for the duration of our permit in the summer months from July to October. We will comply with the Guidelines for?Seabird Colony Viewing for Cruise Ships set out by Environment Canada. We will follow all AECO guidelines as we are a member of this organization. We will follow all Covid-19 protocol set out for cruise ships in the territory. As well we will comply with the Canadian Wildlife Service Guidelines for Visiting Seabird Colonies. We will comply with Federal whale-watching regulations while protected areas and we will comply with any recommendations given by HTO and community boards.
