The Oceanographic Environmental Research Society (OERS) and the Association des Acadiens-Métis Souriquois (AAMS) are pleased to announce a new partnership between the two groups to help study the effects of climate change and human activities on the marine environment during the Summer (2025). This partnership, will create new information and foster the sharing of scientific research and traditional knowledge to help protect marine habitats. As well, this will create employment opportunities for the benefit of communities in the region of Clare; at the same time helping to protect a valuable resource. It is hoped that this effort will lead to future, long lasting funding opportunities. Stay tuned for future updates!
