Creator NWT Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program
Summary Great Bear Lake (GBL) is valued culturally and recreationally by the community of Délı̨nę, NWT residents, and tourists. Lake Trout are vulnerable to fishing activity and environmental change due to their slow growth, low reproductive rate, and preference for cold, oxygen-rich waters. Understanding the impacts of fishing activity and climate change on GBL are important when considering sustainable harvest levels.
Local Relevance To help understand the cumulative impacts of harvest and climate change on large northern lake ecosystems to maintain sustainable harvesting levels for Great Bear Lake.
