Proceedings of the national marine mammal peer-review meeting : Cumberland Sound Beluga April 6, April 20, May 10, 2016 teleconference / chairperson: Garry Stenson ; editor: Christine Abraham.: Fs70-4/2016-050E-PDF
"In 2004, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) recommended that Cumberland Sound Beluga (CSB) be designated as “Threatened” under the Species at Risk Act (SARA). Continued research and monitoring of this beluga population is required to ensure sustainability of the Inuit subsistence harvest. Fisheries Management and its Nunavut co-management partners are developing an Integrated Fisheries Management Plan (IFMP) with the community of Pangnirtung. An aerial survey of Cumberland Sound beluga was conducted in summer 2014. Based upon this survey, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) was asked to provide Science Advice that can be considered by the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board (NWMB) to evaluate the sustainability of the current quota, and the level of Total Allowable Harvest (TAH) and Basic Needs Level (BNL) to be established for this beluga population."--Summary, p. iv.
