Along with the regular June 2002 issue of the journal ARCTIC, the Arctic
Institute of North America is pleased to announce the publication of a
supplementary issue focusing on papers from the Beaufort Sea 2000
conference, held in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, in September 1999. As
described in the Introduction by G. Burton Ayles, Robert Bell and Helen
Fast, the conference had three objectives: "to review our current
understanding of the renewable aquatic resources of the Beaufort Sea; to
review the factors that affect those resources; and to develop a vision
that will guide management of those resources for the benefit of present
and future generations."
The 7 papers in the supplementary issue cover the environmental and
social setting of the Canadian Beaufort Sea; use of the marine resources
by the Inuvialuit; oceanography of the Canadian Shelf of the Beaufort
Sea; current status of marine birds; population trends and ecological
relationships of polar bears and seals; whales of the Inuvialuit
Settlement region; and an essay by Inuvialuit elder Billy Day.
The special issue is available from the Arctic Institute of North
America for $25.00. To order, please contact Membership Services:
