LEG 1 – ISICLE
(9-22 September) Quebec City to Iqaluit
This Leg focussed on supporting more Inuit-led initiatives, namely through the Imappivut marine spatial planning project led by the Nunatsiavut Government in collaboration with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Parks Canada, Natural Resources Canada and Memorial University. One highlight of the expedition was a shore visit of the Hebron fjord located on the Labrador coast of Nunatsiavut. Over 3217 km2 of sea floor were mapped during this Leg, which represents approximately the area of French Polynesia!
