Bras d’Or Watch is an initiative which introduces residents and visitors to the unique Bras d’Or ecosystem. Scientists and local community members welcome citizen scientists at several sites around the estuary to learn more about the natural environment of the nearshore and develop a ‘report card’ on ecosystem health at one point in time in several sites around the estuary. Bras d’Or Watch field day is a celebration of our place in the unique Bras d’Or Lake Biosphere.
