PISUNA is an abbreviation of Piniakkanik sumiiffinni nalunaarsuineq. PISUNA strengthens the involvement of hunters, fishermen and other interested in the documentation and management of living resources. Greenland Ministry of Fisheries and Hunting established PISUNA as a means to ensure that the knowledge of resource users becomes part of the basis for decisions that concern the management of living resources. 

PISUNA is using locally-based monitoring of living resources as a tool for improving Arctic resource management. With funds from the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Government of Greenland, PISUNA is establishing and testing locally-based monitoring of resources in five communities in Disko Bay and North West Greenland. The activities improve the capacity and opportunities of the communities in terms of monitoring and managing resources within sustainable limits. Moreover, PISUNA improves communication and understanding between users and natural resource managers at a higher level.
