Proceedings of the Multidisciplinary Arctic Program (MAP) - Last Ice : science planning workshop, January 16-17, 2018 / Tracey N. Loewen and Christine Michel.: Fs97-4/3159E-PDF

"The Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Last Ice Area (LIA) Science Program was established after a Ministerial Announcement by the Government of Canada asserted Canada’s commitment to the LIA in the fall of 2017. The four-year Multidisciplinary Arctic Program (MAP) – Last Ice Science Program, aims to characterize the only region expected to retain summer sea ice over the next decades. As permanent Arctic sea ice cover recedes, the LIA will be essential for sea ice associated species, ecosystems and communities that depend on them. This region is one of the most remote and inaccessible regions in the world and therefore generally lacks baseline ecological knowledge. Extensive field sampling is planned for spring 2018 and subsequent years. The LIA Science Planning Workshop, held in Ottawa from January 16-17, 2018 brought together national and international partners, and stakeholders to share scientific knowledge of the LIA, identify key science questions, and provide input to a Science Plan"--Abstract, p. v.
