	I had travelled to the community of Coral Harbour to prepare for the final workshop twice- once in Spring 2022 and once more in the Fall 2022. Both visits, however, Leonard had been pre-occupied with seasonal activities, family obligations and health-care. As this research relationship was new, and all community members who had participated in monitoring activities and remote interviews had done so under Leonard's leadership, there was no community network to pivot to in his absence.
