Purpose
The project will continue and expand a long-running partnered study on Arctic Char and Dolly Varden Char in the Coppermine River basin, Nunavut. The research priority is to identify where each species spends the winter, and whether Dolly Varden are more resilient to the rapidly warming water temperatures that have been observed. Identifying habitats and temperatures used by char will allow the community to enact the most informed stewardship and management practices possible.
