To address a knowledge gap in understanding coastal ecosystem, a community-led coastal assessment was completed in four HBC communities to assess the biodiversity of fishes, invertebrates, and their habitats in a program called "Arctic Coast". Communities that participated in the Arctic Coast program from the HBC included: Kinngait, Naujaat, and Igloolik, Nunavut, as well as Whapmagoostui, Quebec. This coastal program captured seasonal and inter-annual differences within and among regions between 2020 and 2021. It also assists in enhancing community research capacity through training and leadership opportunities. This report summarizes species occurrences, biological information on collected species, and describes the habitat of each coastal ecosystem. Data collected across different communities indicates spatial and temporal variation in fishes, invertebrates, and environmental parameters. Overall, the greatest fishing effort took place in Kinngait, which is also where the highest number of fish were captured. Notably, Grubby Sculpin (Myoxocephalus aenaeus) was documented in Kinngait, and is the most northern location recorded for this species. During the open water period, the warmest daily average water temperature occurred in Whapmagoostui. Overall, the information documented in this report will provide a baseline in order to assess future change and may aid in the identification and assessment of culturally and ecologically important marine areas"--Abstract, page viii.
