Polar bear traditional knowledge for the Beaufort Sea
Principal Investigator: Maraj, Ramona
Licensed Year(s): 2011 2010
Summary: Local and traditional knowledge will be collected related to the population status of polar bears, and the influence that climate change has had on polar bears and their habitat in the Beaufort Sea. The information from interviews will be used to develop a description of acceptable management practices and management goals for polar bears and compare this information to science-based information ...

Inuvialuit Perspectives of Polar Bear Population Health and Harvest Sustainability
Principal Investigator: Slavik, Daniel VW
Licensed Year(s): 2010 2009 2008
Summary: The objectives of this research are to document Inuvialuit knowledge, perspectives, and observations of factors that influence polar bears population health on Banks Island and in the Beaufort Region; and explore how traditional knowledge, community observations, scientific studies, and other information interact to inform hunters about sustainable harvest levels of polar bears. The researcher ...

Qiviuq Collection
Principal Investigator: Katz, Sharon
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: The objectives of the research are to: investigate ways of introducing man-made items into musk ox habitat with minimal disturbance; observe if wild musk oxen will physically interact with a man-made addition to their habitat; test the efficacy of the “muskombs” (scratching posts for musk oxen); and collect qiviuq (musk ox down wool). The results of this research will be presented to Inuvialuit gr...

Using Hunter Observations and Ecological Knowledge Together with Science to Understand Past and Current Occurrence of Diseases in Northern Wildlife
Principal Investigator: Kutz, Susan M.
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: Wildlife in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions are very important renewable resources. Wildlife populations can be disturbed by wildlife diseases, and the people who harvest, handle and consume wildlife can be affected by wildlife diseases too (meat not good...

Sachs Harbour Benthic Communities.
Principal Investigator: Siferd, Tim
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999
Summary: The objective of this study is to determine population size or growth rate and recruiment levels for clams and other benthic resources in Sachs Harbour, Blue Fox Harbour, and Sea Otter Harbour. Sampling for the project will be conducted from the vessel Tucho Mariner and an additional Coast Guard launch. Equipment/sampling devices for the project include an underwater camera system, QTC view sea...

Monitoring ringed seals in domestic harvests at Sachs Harbour, Paulatuk and Holman, NWT, in 1993
Principal Investigator: Harwood, Lois
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992
Summary: Members of each of the communities will be hired to sample and measure the ringed seals taken in the spring and summer harvests. These monitors will be trained prior to the field season in order to collect data on the size and location of the harvests, as well as measurements on the seals harvested including sexual maturity, health, and condition. Samples of tissue taken will include jaws, lungs...
