Bonne Bay: A Treasure and a Resource - Public Meetings and Workshop

In October, 2009, the CURRA supported the organization of two public meetings, two school events and a one-day workshop involving researchers, community partners and representatives of local Bonne Bay communities. The events took place in Norris Point and Woody Point and provided an opportunity for the residents of the area to learn about the marine research that has taken place there, including what it has told us about this rich and unique area, and about the research that is on-going as part of the CURRA project.
