| Summary | In Northwestern Canada, increased temperatures and precipitation are intensifying permafrost thaw slump activity. Working with Gwich’in community members, we combined Gwich’in and scientific knowledge to map łuk dagaii (broad whitefish, Coregonus nasus) habitat in the Peel River Watershed at risk of being affected by thaw slumping. Project results will help inform regional decision-making and traditional resource users, assist adaptation planning and help fill gaps in our knowledge of fish habitat. |
| Local Relevance | The habitat of łuk dagaii (broad whitefish, Coregonus nasus) was mapped in the Peel River Watershed, NWT, which will help inform regional decision-making and traditional resource users, assist adaptation planning and help fill gaps in our knowledge of fish habitat. |
