This volume presents the results of an interview survey among
Greenland subsistence hunters on walruses and the catch of walruses
in West and Northwest Greenland. In these areas, the catch of
walruses is still an important part of the traditional subsistence
hunting culture. The Greenland walrus hunting grounds have
experienced marked environmental changes due to climate change and
quotas were introduced for the catch across all of Greenland in
2006. Thus, we wanted to explore how these changes had affected the
local communities by interviewing seventy-six experienced walrus
hunters living in twenty-two settlements and towns along the ca.
1,700 km coast from Maniitsoq in the south to Siorapaluk in the
north. The interviews resulted in a wealth of detailed information
about how climate changes and introduction of quotas have affected
the walruses and the walrus hunting practice. The main text
summarises the broad findings while more details are provided in
the individual hunter statements in four appendices.
