Protecting our human environment and heritage
Sport Fishing and Hunting by Workers
 |
From 2007 to 2011, we will conduct an annual follow-up on sport fishing and hunting by workers to characterize these activities and determine whether conditions need to be changed or incentives introduced to reduce the impacts.
The follow-up will also assess the satisfaction of the Cree tallymen affected by these measures.

For the entire project
|
|
The Weh-Sees Indohoun Corporation will oversee hunting and fishing in an area covering 15,500 km2, which encompasses most of the workcamps.
Outside this area, measures will be introduced to encourage workers to declare their fishing sites and catches voluntarily.
|
To prevent overharvesting of wildlife by workers who hunt and fish for sport, as well as the potential conflicts with Cree land users these activities may cause.
The follow-up studies conducted for the Eastmain-1 project showed that this measure is appreciated by the Crees and effectively prevents overharvesting of wildlife.
