Municipality of Sanikiluaq Community-based Monitoring Network and System

Community data
   Sanikiluaq Sea Ice Project

The community of Sanikiluaq in Nunavut, Canada has long been involved in collecting local and traditional knowledge of the environment and environmental change. In 1997, much of this work was published in the seminal book Voices from the Bay. ELOKA will help the community augment the material presented in Voices from the Bay in order to update it and link it to other research.

Sanikiluaq's Community-based Monitoring Network and System is a regional network that will manage and catalog a combination of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), community-based monitoring data, and other western scientific data sets that are relevant to the Hudson Bay region. An appropriate organization will manage and catalog data sets locally and assist communities and sub-regional groups to manage their own data sets, while providing mechanisms to share data between groups and with national and international organizations. Individual monitoring programs designed to monitor changes in the Hudson Bay region will be incorporated into the system to facilitate data sharing and standardization.
