Using Technology to Protect At-Risk Eels with the Miawpukek Marine Guardians

Spend a day in Newfoundland with the Miawpukek Marine Guardians and catch a glimpse of what a day researching an at-risk and culturally relevant species of eel looks like.
Using various technologies such as DNA analysis, trackers, sonar, and aerial drones, they gather data on the eels, map their habitats, and make sure this culturally important species is cared for. By merging traditional Indigenous teachings and technology, a holistic approach that is at the core of many Guardians Programs, the Miawpukek Guardians can help ensure that their ecological conservation work is informed by their reality, grounded in their community, and inclusive of their culture.
