Integration of Indigenous Knowledge and Western science to produce value-added fishery products in northern Manitoba

Wastage threatens the sustainability of fisheries, ecosystem integrity and the food sovereignty of Indigenous communities. This project will explore the promise of value-added fish products in order to improve productivity and revenue of Indigenous fisheries. This project centers on Indigenous values, traditions and community priorities as these products are developed in collaboration with fishers from Grand Rapids. The partner organization will further develop new valued-added fish products with high nutritional and economic value and raise awareness of these products in Canada.
