Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH) Opening – November 15, 2017

With the opening of the new highway we would like to let people know that a community fishing plan for the ITH area was developed by the Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk HTCs in early 2017. This fishing plan includes voluntary recommendations for subsistence harvesters, as well as recommendations for sport fishing restrictions. To find out more about the new plan contact FJMC staff or check out the plan and summary brochure on our website: Co-Management –> Fisheries Management –> Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway (ITH).  We expect the ITH to increase the fishing pressure on Husky Lakes and other important waterbodies in the area, so we hope that people respect the management recommendations made by communities so that fisheries can be sustainably harvested by future generations.
