Identification of ecological significance, knowledge gaps and stressors for the north water and adjacent areas.: Fs70-6/2021-052E-PDF
"The North Water (Sarvarjuaq/Pikialasorsuaq) is a biologically, socioeconomically, and culturally important region located in northern Baffin Bay between Canada and Greenland. This region's biological importance can be attributed to the unique local geography, sea ice cover, oceanographic circulation patterns, and stratification that encourages early (i.e., April-May) and high productivity. The early and predictable phytoplankton blooms in this region support a high diversity of lower trophic feeders, fishes, and Arctic marine mammals (e.g., Bowhead Whales)"--Context, page 2.
