Abstract

This chapter describes the manner in which the scientific managers (whether national or international) on the one hand, and the Alaskan North Slope Inupiat and the Bering Sea Yupik whalers on the other, have, despite their cultural differences, formed an effective co-management arrangement during a decade of intense activity in defence of each group's respective culturally-based position.
