Evaluating marine protection mechanisms for beluga management in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, ISR
This practicum presents the results of research initiated in February 1997 to assess the effectiveness of alternative marine protection mechanisms for beluga management, through community consultations, in the Inuvialuit Settlement (ISR).
