In early March, Alessia Guzzi participated in an event hosted by Mushkegowuk Council bringing science open houses along the winter road to Attawapiskat First Nation, Fort Albany First Nation, Moose Cree First Nation, and Timmins, ON. This was an opportunity to meet students and community members to discuss science, and ongoing oceanographic research in coastal and offshore James Bay supporting Indigenous-led environmental protection and conservation initiatives. It was a great way to connect with more community members and have meaningful conversations to learn about what people are interested in about the environment. It was also a great opportunity to connect with other scientists doing work in the region.
