Spatial Trends Communities
1. Change in vessel traffic (km travelled per year) between the baseline period (1990-2000) and Phase 3 (2011-1015).
Red dots represent communities with greatest increase in shipping traffic compared to the blue dots, whictively. (published in Dawson et al. 2017 in Arctic)

Additional Maps & Charts
1. Example of Low Impact Corridors
(The Pew Charitable Trusts, 2016)
The Low Impact Shipping Corridors will be a framework to guide future federal investments to support marine navigation safety in the North, including improved charting and increased hydrography, in partnership with Northerners
2. Map of Arctic Canada outlining major shipping routes:
Northwest Passage Northern (N-NWP) and southern (S-NWP), and Arctic Bridge (AB). (Published in Dawson et al. 2017 in Arctic)
3. Annual travel by all vessel type
Total kilometres traveled annually by all vessel types in the Canadian Arctic. (Published in Dawson et al. 2017 in Arctic)
4. Change in Annual Travel
Change in Annual Average Kilometres Traveled per year from Baseline Period (1990-2000) to Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 by Vessel Type. (Published in Dawson et al. 2017 in Arctic)
5. Culturally Significant Marine Areas
Culturally Significant Marine Areas reflect Inuit and Northerners’ knowledge and extensive year-round use of important marine areas. They were identified by members of Arctic communities.
