Summary of marine mammal aerial surveys around Ellesmere Island, Nunavut in September 2023 / by Roxanne D. MacLean, Katie R.N. Florko, Kelsey F. Johnson, Steven H. Ferguson, Christine Michel, Gregory W....: Fs97-6/3618E-PDF
"The Last Ice Area (LIA) serves as a crucial habitat for key marine mammal species, including ringed seals (Pusa hispida), bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus), narwhal (Monodon monoceros), Atlantic walrus (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus), and polar bears (Ursus maritimus). In 2019, Fisheries and Oceans Canada established the Tuvaijuittuq Marine Protected Area (MPA) within the LIA to safeguard this ecologically vital Arctic region. Aerial surveys conducted in 2023 around the Canadian archipelago of Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, focused on Norwegian Bay, Archer Fiord, the Canadian side of Nares Strait, and fiords southwest of Ellesmere Island, mostly south of Tuvaijuittuq MPA to quantify, identify, and understand marine mammal habitat usage"--Abstract, page vi.
