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.

沿海地区具有很高的社会经济和环境价值，并受到人类活动的威胁。这项研究计划将领导关于沿海生态系统的化学、生物和社会连通性的国内和国际合作研究，主要是在北极和大西洋加拿大。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)，就三个目标提出新的见解：1)确定迁徙动物如何沿海岸线和跨海岸线移动营养物质和污染物；2)为生物多样性和管理划定关键的沿海生境；以及3)评估当前和历史上人类活动对沿海生境的影响。
