Sitting in a meeting with many scientists in #Greenland to coordinate fieldwork to minimise disruption to local communities and ecosystems.
Apparently there were *25* cruise ships that arrived in Ittoqqortoormiit this year - each time with ~700 people on board 😱 😳
#ittoqqortoormiit is a tiny community of ~470 people
#CruiseShip #Tourism is essentially unregulated in Greenland, some hope for it to be a source of income - but the impacts are horrendous + little evidence it benefits locals
