Recently, Canada and Greenland signed a letter of intent concerning conserving a marine area between their two territories, according to Eye on the Arctic. The area is called the North Water Polynya, known as Pikialasorsuaq in Greenland and Sarvarjuaq in Nunavut, and is an area of water between Greenland and Nunavut.

Strong ocean currents merge in this area, meaning it stays ice-free year-round. This makes it an ecologically rich area important for wildlife activities like mating and feeding.

“This is a milestone for closer collaboration with our international partners and Inuit communities and is an important step towards ensuring this critical body of water remains healthy and supports the needs of Inuit for years to come,” Diane Lebouthillier, Canada’s minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, said in a statement. 

Lebouthillier signed the letter of intent with Greenland’s Minister of Agriculture, Self-Sufficiency, Energy and Environment Kalistat Lund in Reykjavay on Thursday.

  1. I loved you even more than you’ll say here. The picture is nice and your writing is stylish, but you read it quickly. I think you should give it another chance soon. I’ll likely do that again and again if you keep this walk safe.

  2. I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
