This proposed research is a workshop in Nunatsiavut that would be a continuation of the Arctic Corridors Northern Voices project but would also serve as an opportunity to share methods and skills with the Nunatsiavut Government (NG), so they may conduct their own mapping workshops. This project is relevant to Northerners as this new spatial information and increased understanding will play an important role in ensuring participants' use of the marine environment is respected with the Low Impact Shipping Corridor Initiative and that traditional knowledge is fully infused into federal policy and planning. In this way it is hoped that the impact of future arctic shipping on traditional coastal use and access and ecologically sensitive zones will be minimized.
