COMPREHENSIVE SALMON ENHANCEMENT PLAN FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA: PHASE III DEVELOPED BY JOINT NORTHERN/SOUTHERN SOUTHEAST REGIONAL PLANNING TEAM Alaska Department of Fish and Game P.O. Box 25526 Juneau, Alaska 99802-5526 Kevin C. Duffy, Commissioner June 2004 Comprehensive Salmon Enhancement Plan For Southeast Alaska: Phase III Developed by Joint Northern/Southern Southeast Regional Planning Team Alaska Department of Fish and Game P.O. Box 25526 Juneau, Alaska 99802-5526 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The commissioner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), in accordance with AS 16.10.375-470, has designated salmon production regions throughout the state. The commissioner is responsible for the development and amendment of a comprehensive salmon plan to guide enhancement activities in each region. The commissioner has delegated this responsibility to regional planning teams (RPTs) consisting of representatives from ADF&G and regional aquaculture associations. The mission of the Joint Northern/Southern Southeast Regional Planning Team (Joint RPT) is to promote through sound biological practices programs to achieve optimal production of wild and enhanced salmon stocks on a sustained yield basis for maximal social and economic benefit to all communities and user groups in the region. The Comprehensive Salmon Enhancement Plan for Southeast Alaska: Phase III is a project of the Southeast Sustainable Salmon Fisheries Fund; it was initiated by the Joint RPT in the fall of 2002 and was developed by Joint RPT members, special projects staff, state and federal agencies, and other parties involved in the enhancement program in Southeast. In April 2003, a preliminary draft was provided to Joint RPT members and invited agency reviewers. The comments/revisions received from these individuals were incorporated into a public review draft. In February 2004 that draft was made available to fishermen, processors, regional and nonregional PNP corporations, state and federal agencies, Southeast communities, and other interested parties. Comments and suggestions from the public were incorporated into this final draft, which was reviewed by the Joint RPT during its spring 2004 meeting and sent to ADF&G Commissioner Kevin Duffy with their recommendation for approval. This phase III plan culminates in the formalization of a series of guidelines to assess the viability of proposed future increments of production and/or projects and to assure continued sustainability of wild salmon stocks. This plan further provides goals and objectives as well as a comprehensive overview of the fisheries enhancement program in Southeast Alaska. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Joint RPT respectfully acknowledges its members for their contributions to programs of ADF&G and the PNP enhancement community as well as the Southeast community at large for their contributions and efforts in drafting the phase III plan: SSEPT: Ken Duckett, gillnet, Ketchikan; Dave Otte, power troll, Ketchikan; John Peckham, seine, Ketchikan; Garold Pryor, resource development, Division of Commercial Fisheries, Douglas; Andy McGregor, management, Division of Commercial Fisheries, Douglas; Rocky Holmes, management, Division of Sport Fish, Douglas; Steve Leask, ex officio, Tamgas Hatchery, Metlakatla; Dick Aho, ex officio, Forest Service, Petersburg; and Geoff Whistler, ex officio, DCED, Juneau.

    Traditional Ecological Knowledge of Polar Bears in the Northern Eeyou Marine Region, Québec, Canada Brandon J

    ARCTIC VOL. 71, NO. 1 (MARCH 2018) P. 40 – 58 https://doi.org/10.14430/arctic4696 Traditional Ecological Knowledge of Polar Bears in the Northern Eeyou Marine Region, Québec, Canada Brandon J. Laforest1 Julie S. Hébert,2 Martyn E. Obbard3 and Gregory W. Thiemann1,4 (Received 4 July 2016; accepted in revised form 6 September 2017) ABSTRACT. Polar bears are important socio-cultural symbols in the communities of the Eeyou Marine Region (EMR) in northwestern Québec, Canada. Members of the Cree communities in this region are generally not active polar bear hunters, but they encounter polar bears when fishing, trapping, or hunting during the ice-free season. A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that reduced annual sea ice cover in Hudson Bay has led to declines in body condition of polar bears in the local Southern Hudson Bay subpopulation and to a population decline in the neighboring Western Hudson Bay subpopulation. In June 2012, we conducted 15 semi-directed interviews on the subject of polar bear biology and climate change with local elders and hunters in three communities in the northern EMR: Wemindji, Chisasibi, and Whapmagoostui. The interviews held in Whapmagoostui included informants from Kuujjuarapik, the adjacent Inuit community. The interviews addressed knowledge gaps in the Recovery Strategy for Polar Bear in Ontario. Transcripts of the interviews were coded thematically and analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The interviews revealed important insights into polar bear distribution, terrestrial habitat use, denning, and foraging patterns. Participants were unanimous in their recognition of a warming climate and prolonged ice-free season in the area in recent years.
