Nunavut General Monitoring Plan

The 2013 Nunavut General Monitoring Plan (NGMP) Monitoring Blueprint Compendium serves to provide insight into the current NGMP knowledge and information base, as well as guide further data collection, analysis and reporting activities among NGMP partners. To support coordinated and meaningful investments in Nunavut general monitoring, partners planning on submitting a monitoring project proposal to NGMP are required to refer to this compendium in addition to the 2013 NGMP Guidelines for Proposal Submission. The NGMP blueprints for Valued Ecosystemic Components (VEC) and Valued Socio-economic Components (VSEC) in Nunavut are based on current NGMP Summary of Knowledge (SoK) reports. The blueprints provide current information on individual Valued Components (VC) and identify Nunavut general monitoring objectives, needs and requirements for each VC. Working together to address these knowledge gaps is central to enhancing our understanding of the changes we are observing to Nunavut's ecosystemic and socio-economic environment. Understanding these changes, in turn, will support enhanced management and decision-making processes in Nunavut. The information contained in these blueprints and the SoK's is based on broad data collection and analysis activities of the NGMP. These activities are ongoing through NGMP; however, we encourage partners to share their observations in an effort to ensure the blueprints are accurate and up- to-date and reflect changes in current and relevant knowledge. Please contact NGMP for further information about the blueprints or SoK's, or to identify specific information NGMP may wish to include in the SoK's. NGMP can be contacted by phone at: (867) 975-4654, fax at: (867) 975-4736, fax at: (867) 975-4736, or by email at: [email protected].
