Did you know that National Geographic is planning an expedition in Nunavik, Hudson Bay and James Bay this summer? The goal is to explore and document these unique underwater ecosystems to generate scientific support for marine protections.

Two documentary films will be produced to highlight the regions’ ecological and cultural diversity, with the goal of informing the need for additional marine protections. These documentaries will serve to amplify the voices of Indigenous community members and leaders about their vision and efforts toward marine protections and stewardship.

The vessel is expected to be in the EMR and James Bay between July 30 and August 8.
