Coastal regions support high socio-economic and environmental value and are underthreat from human activities. This research program will lead collaborative national and international studies on the chemical, biological and social connectivity of coastal ecosystems, primarily in Arctic and Atlantic Canada. It will use innovative empirical research, social science and local knowledge (including First Nations) to develop new insights on three objectives: 1) determining how migratory animals move nutrients and contaminants along and across coastlines; 2) delineating key coastal habitats for biodiversity and management; and 3) evaluating current and historical effects of human activities on coastal habitats.

沿海地区具有较高的社会经济和环境价值，但受到人类活动的威胁较小。该研究计划将领导关于沿海生态系统（主要是加拿大北极和大西洋）的化学、生物和社会连通性的国内和国际合作研究。它将利用创新的实证研究、社会科学和当地知识（包括原住民）来开发关于三个目标的新见解：1）确定迁徙动物如何沿海岸线和跨海岸线转移营养物质和污染物； 2) 划定生物多样性和管理的关键沿海栖息地； 3) 评估人类活动当前和历史对沿海栖息地的影响。
