These four videos document the fish,water and sediment monitoring camps that have been held since 2011. The "fish camps" are part of the TAEMP program, a community-based program to monitor the aquatic ecosystems near each of the four Tłı̨chǫ communities.
These two educational videos demonstrate the fish, water, and sediment sampling techniques that are used at the TAEMP fish camps.
This is an updated verson (2014) of the original guide to common fishes found in the Tłı̨chǫ region. It includes diagrams showing fish anatomy (interior and exterior views) labelled in both Tłı̨chǫ and English and information on each fish species, including its ecology and use.
The management plan "Taking Care of Caribou" describes principles and goals for managing the Cape Bathurst, Bluenose-West and Bluenose-East caribou herds. The management plan also describes current population estimates and trends, information needed to effectively manage the herds and guidelines for determining what management actions should be taken for defined population level thresholds.

In November 2009, the Tłįchǫ Government and ENR submitted the Joint Proposal on Management of Caribou in Wek’èezhìı to the Board, which proposed harvest limitations. The WRRB considered any restriction of harvest or component of harvest as the establishment of a total allowable harvest (TAH). The WRRB complied with Section 12.3.10 of the Tłįchǫ Agreement and held a public hearing in Behchokǫ̀, NT in two parts on March 22-26, 2010 and August 5-6, 2010. This is the final report and reasons for decisions related to the joint proposal for the management of the Bathurst Caribou Herd.
