Akimiski Island is the largest island in James Bay (a southeasterly extension of Hudson Bay), Canada. If this project was developed, the results could be catastrophic to the James Bay marine and estuarine ecosystem. The mid-continent population of Lesser Snow Geese also use Akimiski Island as a spring staging area. We studied a second population of this species, breeding at the southern edge of its range over 500 km south of Churchill, on Akimiski Island, Nunavut, in James Bay (Nguyen et al. There about 150 breeding pairs on Akimiski Island (Abraham 2007 in Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas). Currently none is planned, but the potential for wind power is significant, as is the case for wave energy and hydro-electricity generation upstream, along major tributaries flowing into James Bay, which could affect flow rates, turbidity, flow volume and contaminant input. Mudflats surrounding the island brighten the nearshore waters, while rivers on the mainland (lower left; Ontario Province, Canada) spill brown, tannin-loaded sediments into the strait. Known threats: Known threats for this site are listed according to the Open Standards Threats Classification system.
