Sustainability Background

Inuit Marine Monitoring Program

Erin worked directly for Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) to create a pilot marine monitoring program that pairs skilled Inuit monitors with remote monitoring technology for vessel tracking in the Arctic.

She facilitated multiple partnerships, including with Marine Exchange of Alaska, Transport Canada (TC), Canadian Coast Guard, and Nunavut Fisheries Training Consortium.

At the end of the 3-year pilot phase, Erin worked with a community representative to assess the program for continuous improvement.

Land and Responsibility

Wherever possible, Ishka Consulting operates within the Indigenous governance framework in which a project takes place.

Erin’s experience, understanding and approach was shaped over time working closely with Inuit throughout Inuit Nunaat and by early career experiences with the Heiltsuk Nation and the Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance on the West Coast. A seventh generation Canadian, Erin’s early teachers were the animals and plants of Algonquin Anishinabe Aki in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. She is committed to deepening her relationships with the communities, practices, and philosophies of the places she loves so much and calls home.
