Luxuriant Arctic forests
In cold marine waters, rocky reefs are often dominated by habitat-forming seaweeds such as kelp. These seaweeds form impressive underwater forests that are not only a phenomenal source of primary productivity and food, but also create three- dimensional structure that provides valuable habitat for many animals and other seaweeds, including harvested species. The recipe for kelp forests in many regions of the world is deceptively simple: a rocky seafloor, enough light to support growth, cool nutrient-rich waters, and low grazing pressure to ensure survival. Add protection from ice scour to this mix and you have the formula for predicting the potential distribution of kelp in Arctic regions.
What is happening now is not working for Inuit : Why QIA won t support Baffinland s expansion cbc.ca 3 hrs ago Nick Murray © Beth Brown/CBC Iqaluit residents at a peaceful protest Monday, Feb. 8, outside the elders residence. Attendees say they want wildlife to be protected from a mine expansion on north Baffin Island.
The Qikiqtani Inuit Association says its decision to not support Baffinland s Phase 2 expansion came down to a lack of trust among communities, and uncertainty about whether new proposed mitigation measures will actually work with a larger mining operation.
Baffinland is requesting to double its shipping of iron ore from its Milne Inlet port to 12 million tonnes a year, and build a 110-kilometre railway the port. Public hearings on the proposal resumed this week in Iqaluit.
