The Northern Rivers Ecosystem Initiative (NREI) is the Government of Canada, Government of Alberta and Government of Northwest Territories response to the recommendations of the Northern River Basins Study. Through NREI, science teams have been focusing on priorities such as pollution prevention, endocrine disruption in fish, drinking water and enhancing environmental effects monitoring. Studies have also continued into the incidence of fish abnormalities and the effects of land use, flow regulation and climate change on aquatic ecosystems. This five-year initiative, which will be completed in 2003, is administered by a Steering Committee with representatives from Canada, Alberta and the Northwest Territories. 4, record 1, English, - Northern%20Rivers%20Ecosystem%20Initiative

L'Initiative des écosystèmes des rivières du Nord (IERN) a été mise sur pied par les gouvernements du Canada, de l'Alberta et des Territoires du Nord-Ouest pour donner suite aux recommandations de l'Étude sur les bassins des rivières du Nord (EBRN). Dans le cadre de l'Initiative, des équipes scientifiques se sont attaquées à des priorités telles que la prévention de la pollution, les troubles endocriniens chez les poissons, l'eau potable et la surveillance accrue des effets environnementaux. On a également poursuivi les études sur la fréquence des anomalies chez les poissons ainsi que sur les effets de l'utilisation des terres, de la régularisation du débit et des changements climatiques sur les écosystèmes aquatiques. Cette initiative quinquennale, qui doit arriver à terme en 2003, est administrée par un comité directeur composé de représentants des gouvernements du Canada, de l'Alberta et des Territoires du Nord-Ouest. 1, record 1, French, - Initiative%20des%20%C3%A9cosyst%C3%A8mes%20des%20rivi%C3%A8res%20du%20Nord
