Chloé LeBlanc-Grant

I am currently a master’s student in the benthic ecology lab at the Université Laval. My research aims to characterize the seasonal variability in micro- and nanoplastics contaminating benthic invertebrates and macroalgae near Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut. Working in close collaboration with the community and a local scuba diver from Qikiqtarjuaq, this project targets species that are a vital source of traditional country foods.
