FIShNET collaborates with the Northern Water Futures (NWF) project.

In partnership with Indigenous communities in other northern regions in Canada, the FIShNET team evaluates:
1) health concerns and risk perceptions among community members;
2) environmental determinants of mercury and nutrients in wild-harvested fish;
3) balance between contaminant risks and nutrient benefits in traditional foods;
4) links between contaminant levels in the environment, human behavior patterns, and human exposure; and
5) access to traditional food and the impact on food security.

FIShNET also generates complementary information for Fort Albany First Nation and Mushkegowuk Council (www.mushkegowuk.com).
