Bras d'Or Lake Biosphere Reserve Association

Grey seals in the Bras d'Or estuary are using the islands as breeding grounds this year due to lack of ice. There are lots of healthy pups on many of the islands. Photos courtesy of Bruce Hatcher, Bras d'Or Institute (CBU).

With the help of the Ocean Tracking Network field team, Apoqnmatulti’k now has receivers positioned at the main entrances to the Bras d’Or Lake! These receivers... will capture the movement of katew (American eel) between the Bras d'Or Lake and the Atlantic Ocean, and provide insight into the length of time the species inhabits the lake. American eel have the greatest range of any fish species in North America. The data collected by the receivers will help fill knowledge gaps in eel behaviour and residency patterns, as well as determine essential winter and feeding grounds. Mi'kmaq rely on eel in the Bras d’Or Lake for food and ceremonial purposes. Learning more about how eel use the lake and surrounding coastal ponds is essential for the transfer of knowledge and culture, as well as the sustainable management of the species.
