OBS

Tuvaijuittuq is an area of particular ecological importance due to the presence of old, thick, multi-year pack ice. Sea ice provides habitat for ice-adapted organisms, such as microscopic algae, that form the basis of, and provide energy for, Arctic marine food webs all the way up to marine mammals and polar bears. The seabed community in this area is more abundant and diverse than previously expected and may also have important implications for supporting larger animals such as walrus and bearded seals.

OBS

Tuvaijuittuq est une région d'importance écologique particulière en raison de la présence d'une vieille banquise épaisse et pluriannuelle. La glace de mer fournit un habitat pour des organismes adaptés à la glace, tels que des algues microscopiques, qui forment la base des réseaux trophiques marins de l'Arctique et qui alimentent les mammifères marins et les ours polaires. La vie dans les fonds marins de cette région est plus abondante et diversifiée qu'on ne l'avait prévu et peut aussi avoir d'importantes répercussions sur la survie d'animaux plus gros comme le morse et le phoque barbu.
