Inuit-led conservation efforts in various marine ecosystems in the Qikiqtani Region received a $270-million funding commitment Thursday from the federal government and other donors.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Qikiqtani Inuit Association president Olayuk Akesuk announced the signing of the SINAA Agreement in Montreal.

Sinaa is an Inuktitut term meaning “the floe edge.”

The money includes $200 million from the federal government for conservation across approximately 800 square kilometres of the region’s land and waters.
