Yes, monitoring will be done to ensure marine mammals and seabirds are not affected by the sealift operations. The group in charge of monitoring them is the Nunavut Sealink & Supply Inc. (NSSI) crew. The environmental logs will be shared with the Hamlets and Hunters and Trappers Organization (HTO). Additionally, there will also be Cadets on board of the vessels for this year’s sealift operations.
