Bluenose
Caribou
Harvest Levels
The majority of the Bluenose harvest is carried out by the residents of Kugluktuk, Tuktoyaktuk, Inuvik, Ft. Good Hope and Paulatuk. Residents of Fort McPherson, Tsiigehtchic and Aklavik also harvest from the Bluenose herd when they cannot access the Porcupine herd.
In response to decreasing herd numbers, the co-management boards and Government of the Northwest Territories are working together to implement measures to conserve the herds. Currently the harvest of the Bluenose herds is restricted to subsistence harvesters for the Wildlife Management Areas S/BC/01 and S/BC/03 as of September 15, 2006.
