Cruise report - Integrated Studies and Ecosystem Characterization of the Labrador Sea Deep Ocean (ISECOLD)
Introduction and objectives The Government of Canada has committed to protecting 10% of Canada’s marine and coastal areas by 2020 as part of its commitment to achieve international (the Convention on Biological Diversity 2011 20 Strategic Plan for Biodiversity’s Aichi Targets) and domestic (2020 Bio...
