Marine Biomass Innovation (MBI) Project
The (MBI) is a multi-year transdisciplinary research project funded by the federal New Frontiers Research Fund-Transformation (NFRF). MBI is a collaborative project involving researchers from nine Canadian and international universities, and five Mi鈥檏maw governing organizations (Flat Bay Band, Benoit First Nation, St. George鈥檚 Indian Band, Three Rivers Mi鈥檏maq Band, and Elmastukwek First Nation - Benoit鈥檚 Cove Indian Band). MBI seeks to apply a novel integrated approach for repurposing marine biomass to improve economic sustainability of rural coastal, remote, and Indigenous communities in two specific sub-regions of Western Newfoundland (Bay St. George and Bay of Islands).
