The 2016 Beluga Summit : planning and proceedings / by Laura A. Murray, Shannon A. MacPhee, Sonja K. Ostertag, Carie Hoover, Kristin Hynes, Kate Matari, Jen Lam, Lisa L. Loseto.: Fs97-4/3257E-PDF
"The first Beluga Summit was held in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, on February 23-25, 2016. This significant engagement event brought together government scientists, co-management partners, academics, and Inuvialuit community members to share knowledge and discuss future research priorities for the Eastern Beaufort Sea beluga population. The summit was jointly organized by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Fisheries Joint Management Committee and the Inuvialuit Game Council, with full engagement in program planning from Inuvialuit Hunters and Trappers Committees. The summit was structured around three major themes: (1) community knowledge, (2) scientific research, and (3) beluga management. Multiple formats were used to share information during the event, including oral presentations, breakout groups, poster sessions, a cultural evening, and roundtable discussions. Knowledge was shared and connections were strengthened between the diverse groups working on beluga research, monitoring and management, and new research priorities and collaborations emerged. The value of the summit was recognized by participants and there was interest from co-management groups as well as other attendees in holding similar events on a five year cycle. The success of the summit was largely due to the collaborative approach adopted amongst co-management partners to design an event that incorporated a variety of perspectives, and to the active participation and high level of engagement from all attendees"--Abstract, page ix.
