7 Concluding Thoughts The economies and cultural values of aboriginal communities situated along the coast of the Hudson Bay Complex are closely linked to the marine ecosystem, especially to the marine mammals, fish, waterfowl and marine invertebrates harvested from this system. Coastal communities and their traditional cultures and economies are particularly vulnerable to changes that reduce wildlife populations and/or reduce the ability of aboriginal hunters and trappers to harvest wildlife resources associated with the land-fast ice cover along the coastlines. A challenge for these communities as well as for other Canadians is to anticipate and prepare for the challenges and opportunities that are likely to result from a “transformed” Hudson Bay marine ecosystem where the seasonal ice cover is much reduced or potentially even absent entirely.
Coastal communities and aboriginal organizations have much to add and their active involvement will help generate a readiness among others to become more engaged in understanding how the system is changing and in adapting to a changing Hudson Bay marine ecosystem. The substantial involvement of industrial interests would be a welcome development. Non-governmental organizations—especially those focusing on environmental, wildlife, and sustainable development concerns—are also seen as being important actors. It is also clear that the Hudson Bay Awareness Summit, as well as the issues that it addresses, will need to get the attention of national and local media if it and the activities associated with it are to raise the profile as needed. In the final analysis, it is likely that the success of the initiative will hinge, in large part, on the extent to which persons in positions of influence are motivated to become actively involved in planning and shaping this initiative and in individual and institutional responses to the issues and concerns raised through the process.
It is assumed that greater scientific, public and political awareness of the documented and predicted changes in the Hudson Bay marine ecosystem will help set the stage for meaningful and practical initiatives to address the future of the Hudson Bay region. The Hudson Bay Awareness Summit could contribute significantly to increased awareness and help to generate a readiness to address some of the major deficiencies in our ability to predict the future of the Hudson Bay Complex. Clearly the involvement www.iisd.org ©2013 The International Institute for Sustainable Development **Subject to final design and copy edit of other stakeholders and actors will be required in to generate and stimulate an increased scientific, public and political interest and awareness.
One outcome might well be a clearer picture of how the many jurisdictions influencing the future of the Hudson Bay region could cooperate in forming appropriate governance institutions to help understand and manage the cumulative and multijurisdictional stresses that are influencing the environment and economies of coastal communities.
