Layer: Wildlife Management Polar Bear Areas (ID: 2)

Name: Wildlife Management Polar Bear Areas

Display Field: POPName

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: As part of the 1998 Wildlife Act, all Wildlife Management boundaries were digitally produced at a scale of 1:250,000. Previous maps of the Wildlife Management boundaries were manually drafted on maps at a scale of 1:4,000,000. The data has the potential to be used for a variety of other wildlife management purposes. These boundaries have been legally described as part of the Wildlife Act Regulations. These boundaries have been used as the basis of the maps used for the annual Hunting Regulations Maps. Boundaries have been updated as required due to changes in the legislation.All digital spatial boundaries and the respective metes and bounds descriptions in the all Regulations have been updated to be in compliance with the 2014 update to the Wildlife Act. No meaningful changes to boundaries were done as part of this process. Changes were made to conform with metes and bounds descriptions in paramount legislation from Canada and the settled land claim areas in the NWTThe key changes have been as follows:All boundaries and metes and bounds descriptions are now compliant with what is included in the applicable land claim agreements and other relevant documents.All boundaries now reflect more current and accurate digital boundary features that are now available.Management Units have been changed to Management Zones.The following species have all been grouped by Management Zone (excluding Zone I) within a set of regulations called “Wildlife Management Zones and Areas Regulations”: Wildlife Management Zones, Polar Bear, Outfitter Areas, Wood Bison, Barren Ground Caribou, Muskox, Wolf and Wolverine.The following separate Regulations have also been updated: Registered Group Trapping in Trapping Regulations, Bison Control Areas in Nuisance Bison Control Regulations,Wildlife Preserves,and the Mackenzie Bison Sanctuary in Wildlife Sanctuaries.The following Inuvialuit Settlement Region Hunter and Trapper Committees Regulations have been updated: Aklavik, Inuvik, Olokhatomuit, Paulatuk, Sachs Harbour, and Tuktoyaktuk contain as applicable the following species: Polar Bear, Barren Ground Caribou, Grizzly Bear, Lynx, Muskox, Wolf, Dolphin and Union Caribou, and Peary Caribou.The following data and metes and bounds descriptions were updated, but the Regulations were not: Border Licence Areas (Wildlife Licences and Permits), Critical Wildlife Areas – therefore the boundaries have not been changed.The digital boundary and metes and bounds description of the Thelon Game Sanctuary will be updated in conjunction with the Land Withdrawal Order (Dubawnt Lake), NWT Lands Act as they cover the same area.Wildlife Regions were deleted as they are a residual feature from pre-Nunavut.Since the Act has been passed, there have been a few updates to descriptions and boundaries that are reflected on a case by case basis.The following attributes may be present in each attribute file. Each attributes is prefaced with 'xx' which is a two character abbreviation of the layer name:• xxAREA is the minimum attribute which is the management area identifier• xNAME is the name of an area.Data was originally stored in PBEAR97 Arc/Info coverage. The data has been updated in 2012 as PBEAR12.shp.
