In August 2016, an agreement was signed between the Cree Nation Government and Hydro-Québec that mandated Niskamoon Corporation to implement a comprehensive program of research about the ecology of the coastal region of Eeyou lstchee, specifically relationships between eelgrass (Zostera marina), Canada Geese, and Cree hunting. The research was to include at least three components: a) distribution and abundance of eelgrass; b) oceanographic conditions of the coastal region of Eeyou Istchee, and c) Cree traditional land use and knowledge of eelgrass and geese. The research was to be overseen by a Steering Committee consisting of representatives of the coastal Cree First Nations of Chisasibi, Wemindji, Eastmain, and Waskaganish; Niskamoon Corporation, Hydro-Québec, and other invited specialists such as the Canadian Wildlife Service. The comprehensive research program came to be called the Eeyou Coastal Habitat Comprehensive Research Project (CHCRP). This document is the final integrated report from the researchers that worked within the CHCRP. It was delivered to Niskamoon and the Steering Committee that oversaw implementation of the project in May 2023.
