| Abstract | "This report summarizes the results of research conducted in April 2018 on the subsistence harvests and uses of wild foods in Wales, AK for the 2017 study year. The comprehensive subsistence survey asked respondents about their harvest, sharing, and use of more than 75 species of fish, land mammals, marine mammals, marine invertebrates, birds, wild plants, and berries. The project also collected information on community demographics, income, food security, and wild food networks. Researchers mapped areas used by community residents for subsistence hunting, fishing, and gathering in a 12-month study period. Wales is a primarily Iñupiat community with a reliance on marine mammal species. Hunting for seals, walrus, and bowhead whales are heavily dependent upon sea ice conditions as the animals are targeted on the ice, which must be thick enough to support the weight of the animal and the hunters field dressing their catch. Arctic sea ice has seen unprecedented declines since 2012, and 2017 saw a record low for winter maximum sea ice cover. Subsistence harvests of marine mammals by Wales hunters in 2017, particularly walrus, were the lowest recorded of the years for which comparable harvest data is available."-- Source other than Library of Congress. |
