Book excerpt: "This catalogue identifies areas of interest in the Lancaster Sound Planning Region as identified by: 1) International Agencies ... 2) Federal Agencies ... 3) Territorial Agencies ... 4) Regional/Local Agencies: The communities of Grise Fiord, Resolute Bay, Arctic Bay, Nanisivik, Pond Inlet and Clyde River. ... Listed for each specific site within an area is the existing protective status of that site. Also included is the legislation that regulates land use activities within the area. The development potential of each area has been identified by indicating the hydrocarbon development potential and the known mineral deposits. The Lancaster Sound Draft supports the development of a systematic approach to identifying a comprehensive set of protected areas within the region. Specifically, the Regional Commission has recommended that the GNWT develop guidelines for the establishment of protected areas in northern Canada, especially endorsing the use of community based criteria. To assist in the development of a comprehensive set of protected areas, the Commission has developed this catalogue which documents areas of interest in the planning region, and reasons for their importance to various agencies. It is important to note that while international and government sites have been identified in previous documents, in keeping with community based planning, this document also includes areas of interest to the residents of the region and the reasons for their importance. It is hoped that this document will be a source of information to assist in the development of a set of guidelines and protected areas. In addition, because this document outlines agency interests, boundaries, reasons for the importance of an area and the protective status of an area, it will be a useful guide for land managers during the land use permitting process, for industry during exploration phases and for governments when reviewing proposed land use activities"--ASTIS database.
